D1, 2, 3 & 4 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 1, 2, 3 & 4 — Responsiveness, fidelity, background noise and distortion all relate to load capacity in communication theory, so all four hold, giving 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Explanation
★Responsiveness, fidelity, background noise and distortion all relate to load capacity in communication theory, so all four hold, giving 1, 2, 3 and 4.
★Karl Deutsch's communication model treats the political system as a network handling flows of information.
★Load is the total volume of information a system must carry and process at a given time.
★Responsiveness is how well the system acknowledges and acts on incoming messages.
★Fidelity is the accuracy with which a message is transmitted and received.
★Background noise interferes with reception, while distortion misrepresents the message.
★Managing these factors keeps the system's communication efficient and its decisions sound.
