A1, 2 & 3 only

B2, 3 & 4 only ✓ Correct

C3, 4 & 5 only

D1, 4 & 5 only

Correct answer: (B) 2, 3 & 4 only

Explanation

The transactional model's true features are its wide interpersonal use, feedback as a new message, and role exchange between encoder and decoder.

Statement 2 holds because the model is used extensively in interpersonal communication.

Statement 3 holds because feedback is itself treated as a fresh message in the ongoing exchange.

Statement 4 holds because encoder and decoder continually swap roles as communicators.

Statement 1 fails since noise is present, not absent, in this model.

Statement 5 fails because the model dissolves any strict encoder-decoder division rather than making it the order.
