Correct answer: (B) Cultural values

Explanation

People perceive communicated messages according to their cultural values.

Shared cultural frames guide how a message is decoded and judged.

Official status governs authority, not the cultural lens of perception.

Imagined influences are vague and do not name the shaping frame of culture.

Semantic gaps are breakdowns in meaning, not the basis of perception.

The field of experience shapes how each receiver reads a message.
