Lai has unintentionally created of a(n) ______ barrier to communication.A. decodingB. feedbackC. encodingD. receiver

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

In order to carve out meaning from a conversation, the sender must begin encoding, which means translating information into a message in the form of texts or symbols representing ideas or concepts. This process translates the ideas or concepts into the coded message that will be communicated.

Lai's encoding however, was not understood sometimes by her colleagues, thus creating an encoding barrier.
