DRestrictive rituals

Correct answer: (C) Polymorphic meaning

Explanation

Media messages consist of various layers of polymorphic meaning.

Polymorphic meaning means a single message carries many possible readings for different audiences.

Rationalisation names a defence of reasoning, not the layered meaning within a media text.

Complex resistance describes an audience reaction, not the meaning built into the message.

Restrictive rituals is not a recognised description of what media messages contain.

The many-formed, layered meaning lets audiences decode a message in varied ways.
