Correct answer: (D) Formal structure
Explanation
Public communication tends to occur within a more formal structure, with set roles for speaker and audience.
Rules of turn-taking, setting and occasion make public address more organised than casual talk.
A complex structure is not the specific trait being named, since formality, not complexity, is the point.
A political structure narrows the idea to one arena, whereas public communication spans many settings.
A convenient structure is not a recognised descriptor of the public-communication setting.
Fixed norms and prepared roles are why public communication is called more formal.
