What is the difference between asynchronous and synchronous communication?
AAsynchronous is real-time communication, while synchronous is one-way technology
BAsynchronous is communication that does not occur at the same time, while synchronous communication occurs at the same time ✓ Correct
CAsynchronous communication includes instant messaging, while synchronous communication includes email
DAsynchronous communication is fast and instant, while synchronous communication is collected at a single point in time
Correct answer: (B) Asynchronous is communication that does not occur at the same time, while synchronous communication occurs at the same time — The difference is that asynchronous does not occur at the same time while synchronous does, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The difference is that asynchronous does not occur at the same time while synchronous does, so that is the answer.
★Synchronous communication happens in real time with all parties present together.
★Phone calls and video meetings are examples of synchronous communication.
★Asynchronous communication is sent and received at different times.
★It does not need an immediate response, as with emails.
★So the correct difference is the one about occurring at the same time or not.
★So the answer is that asynchronous does not occur at the same time while synchronous does.
