A1, 2 & 3 only

B2, 3 & 4 only

C1, 3 & 5 only ✓ Correct

D3, 4 & 5 only

Correct answer: (C) 1, 3 & 5 only

Explanation

The interaction model's true features are that it is two-way, keeps the psychological context in view, and is less message-focused.

Statement 1 fits because the interaction model treats communication as a two-way exchange with feedback.

Statement 3 fits because this model always accounts for the psychological context such as stress, mood and emotion.

Statement 5 fits because attention shifts from the message alone toward the ongoing exchange, making it less message-focused.

Statement 2 fails since the physical or environmental context is treated as important here, not unimportant.

Statement 4 fails because feedback in this model is precisely a response to the message received.
