Ai-d, ii-a, iii-b, iv-c ✓ Correct
Bi-a, ii-b, iii-c, iv-d
Ci-b, ii-a, iii-d, iv-c
Di-c, ii-d, iii-a, iv-b
Correct answer: (A) i-d, ii-a, iii-b, iv-c
Explanation
The pairing links phatic with greeting, feedback with the decoder becoming encoder, meta message with communication about communication, and lateral communication with exchange between equals.
Phatic communication opens the channel and keeps social contact, as in a greeting.
Feedback occurs when the decoder turns into an encoder and sends a response back.
A meta message is communication about communication, a message that refers to another message.
Lateral communication flows between equals at the same level.
Each type thus matches the description that captures its function.
