DA is not correct but R is correct

Correct answer: (C) A is correct but R is not correct

Explanation

A face-to-face setting genuinely raises the chances of successful communication, and that first statement is accurate.

Physical presence lets the sender and receiver read expressions, gestures and tone together.

Immediate feedback lets a speaker correct or repeat a message the moment confusion appears.

The reasoning that the pace of communication is not regulated by the participants is inaccurate.

In an in-person exchange the participants themselves control the speed, pauses and turn-taking of talk.

This regulated pace, joined with visible non-verbal cues, is what makes such communication effective.
