Which option best demonstrates the complete process of active listening?

Correct answer: Listen attentively, confirm understanding, and respond appropriately

Active listening is more than simply hearing sounds. The listener gives full attention, tries to understand the speaker’s meaning, checks understanding through a question or summary when necessary, and then gives a relevant response. Option A contains all these connected behaviours. Interrupting, replying without listening, or speaking only about oneself prevents the listener from understanding the speaker and therefore does not demonstrate active listening.
