Which of the following are true in respect of communication? It is a:

1.Filtering process

2.Barrierless process

3.Life long process

4.Universal process

5.Collective process

A1, 2 and 3 only

B2, 3 and 4 only

C3, 4 and 5 only ✓ Correct

D4, 5 and 1 only

Correct answer: (C) 3, 4 and 5 only

Explanation

Communication is a lifelong process, a universal process and a collective process, so statements 3, 4 and 5 hold.

Statement 3 is right because communication continues from birth to death, never confined to one stage of life.

Statement 4 is right because it is universal, found across all peoples, cultures and species in some form.

Statement 5 is right because it is collective, always involving more than a single isolated actor.

Calling it a filtering process in statement 1 names only one narrow feature and not its defining nature here.

Calling it barrierless in statement 2 is plainly false, since noise and barriers are inherent to real communication.

These defining traits mark communication as continuous, all pervasive and inherently social.
