ABoth A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
BBoth A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is correct but R is not correct
DA is not correct but R is correct ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) A is not correct but R is correct
Explanation

The assertion is wrong but the reason is right: viewing communication as a ritual is in fact a radical view, while the once-dominant transmission view is no longer valid.

The assertion fails because the ritual view broke sharply from standard transmission thinking and so was radical.

The reason holds because the transmission model's hegemonic grip has given way to newer, sharing-centred views.

The ritual view treats communication as shared culture and community, a real shift in outlook.

The transmission view of sending messages from source to receiver no longer rules the field.

The reason states a valid change even though the assertion misjudges the ritual view.
