When a receiver misinterprets a message according to personal convenience, which communication problem is most likely to occur?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Misunderstanding
A misunderstanding occurs when the receiver’s interpretation differs from the sender’s intended meaning. Personal assumptions or selective interpretation can create this gap. Complete clarity and shared understanding describe successful communication, while effective feedback helps correct confusion rather than being the problem produced by misinterpretation.
