A1 and 2 only
B2 and 3 only
C3 and 4 only ✓ Correct
D1 and 4 only

Explanation
★Interpretation of a message depends on the order of information and the content character, so the answer is 3 and 4.
★The order in which information is presented shapes how the receiver makes sense of it.
★The character of the content, its meaning and tone, guides interpretation.
★Interpretation is about deriving meaning within a general context.
★Transmission speed affects delivery timing, not the meaning drawn from the message.
★The type of channel affects reach and form, but interpretation rests on content and sequence.
★Meaning is constructed by the receiver from what is said and in what order.
