D2, 4 & 5 only ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 2, 4 & 5 only
Explanation

The distinguishing marks of the Buddhist idea of communication are that it is process-oriented, that it creates meaning, and that it is behaviour-centred.

Being process-oriented, statement 2, treats communication as an ongoing flow rather than a single fixed act.

Creation of meaning, statement 4, holds that meaning is jointly built between the participants and is not simply transmitted.

Behaviour-centred, statement 5, ties communication to right conduct and ethical action in daily life.

Calling it unidirectional, statement 1, is wrong because the Buddhist view is dialogic and two-way, not one-directional.

Competitiveness, statement 3, also fails because the Buddhist stress falls on harmony and mutual understanding, not rivalry.
