C4, 3, 2, 1

D1, 2, 3, 4

Correct answer: (A) 3, 2, 1, 4

Explanation

The proper sequence of the four stages runs sender, encoding, transmission, then feedback.

The sender comes first as the source who wishes to convey a message.

Encoding follows, turning the idea into words, signs or symbols.

Transmission then carries the encoded message across a channel to the receiver.

Feedback comes last, the receiver's response returning to the sender.

Beginning with transmission or encoding before the sender would break the natural flow of the process.
