The Buddhist concept of communication is marked by:
AMono-causality
BDyadic causality
CMulti-causality ✓ Correct
DSkewed causality
Correct answer: (C) Multi-causality
Explanation
The Buddhist concept of communication is marked by multi-causality, treating every element as shaped by many interdependent causes.
Mono-causality reduces events to a single cause, which contradicts the interdependent Buddhist view.
Dyadic causality limits explanation to two causes and still misses the web of conditions Buddhism assumes.
Skewed causality suggests a distorted or lopsided causal account, not the balanced interdependence intended.
This fits the Buddhist emphasis on contextualising each communicative element.
It contrasts with Western models that examined communicative elements individually.
