Codes:

Correct option is D

· Socio-psychological barriers → Difference in attitude (IV) These barriers arise due to individual attitudes, perceptions, beliefs, values, emotions, and prejudices. When people involved in communication have different attitudes or mindsets, misunderstanding and conflict occur easily.
· Semantic barriers → Damaged translation (III) Semantic barriers are related to language and meaning. Poor choice of words, incorrect translation, use of jargon, or ambiguous terms can distort the message, leading to damaged translation.
· Organisational barriers → Rules and Regulations (I) Organisational barriers originate from the structure, policies, procedures, hierarchy, and formal rules of an organization. Strict rules and lengthy procedures often delay or distort communication.
· Physical and Mechanical barriers → Noise (II) These barriers are related to the environment and technical disturbances such as noise, faulty equipment, poor acoustics, or distance, which interfere with the transmission of messages.
