Explanation
★Oral communication is point-to-point because it directly connects a speaker to a listener, so option B is correct.
★It is face to face and immediate, allowing instant feedback and clarification.
★It is personal and interactive, not impersonal, since tone and expression add meaning.
★It is generally unmediated in its basic form, unlike mediated communication that uses a technical channel.
★Mediated communication, such as radio or print, reaches dispersed audiences through a medium.
★Noise can affect any channel but is not a defining trait of oral communication.
★The direct, personal, two way nature is what marks the oral mode.
