CIs the person who encodes an idea

DIs responsible for message interference

Correct answer: (B) Decodes a message

Explanation

In the communication process, a receiver decodes the message that has been sent.

The receiver takes in the symbols and interprets them into meaning.

Calling the receiver a channel confuses the person with the medium that carries the message.

Naming the receiver as the one who encodes an idea assigns the sender's role by mistake.

Holding the receiver responsible for message interference mislabels a person as noise.

After decoding, the receiver sends feedback back to the sender.
