Which of the following represents the obstruction in the process of encoding and decoding a message into understandable words due to semantic barriers?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Faulty translations, badly expressed messages, technical jargon and words with multiple meanings are semantic barriers. Premature evaluation and lack of attention are personal/psychological barriers, while organisational policy is an organisational barrier.
