DGroup communication

Correct answer: (C) Mass communication

Explanation

Gatekeeping is related to mass communication, where editors and producers decide what reaches the audience.

Gatekeepers filter and select which news and content get published or broadcast.

Intrapersonal communication happens within a single person and has no such external gatekeeper.

Interpersonal communication is a direct exchange between two people, again without media gatekeeping.

Group communication involves a small set of people interacting, not the mass media selection role.

The concept was developed to explain how mass media shape the flow of public information.
