Ans. (d) Sol. Persuasion communication is a type of communication specifically designed to influence emotions, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of individuals or groups.

· (b) Vertical communication: Communication that flows upward (from subordinates to superiors) or downward (from superiors to subordinates) in an organization, primarily used for instructions, feedback, or reporting.
