An implicit message within a message is technically referred to as:
AHidden message
BIntrinsic message
CNon-expressive message
DSub-text ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Sub-text
Explanation
An implicit message carried within a message is technically called sub-text.
Hidden message (A) is a loose term, not the technical label for embedded meaning.
Intrinsic message (B) is not a recognised communication term for implied content.
Non-expressive message (C) suggests an absence of expression, which does not fit implied meaning.
Sub-text is the underlying meaning that lies beneath the literal, surface message.
It contrasts with the manifest text, the explicit content stated directly.
