Which of the following terms describes the communication between two people that involves the sending and receiving of messages?

ADecoding
BEncoding
CGrapevine
DDyadic ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Dyadic
Explanation

Communication between two people involving the sending and receiving of messages is termed dyadic.

It is the basic face to face exchange in which each person is both sender and receiver.

Decoding names only the receiver's act of interpreting a message, not the two person relationship.

Encoding names only the sender's act of turning ideas into symbols, again just one part.

Grapevine refers to informal, unofficial rumour flow within an organisation, not a two person exchange.

Dyadic communication is also called interpersonal communication and gives immediate feedback.
