What does feedback mean in communication?

Correct answer: The receiver’s response, opinion, or signal about a message

Correct answer: A, the receiver’s response, opinion, or signal about a message. In a communication process, the sender creates and sends a message, while the receiver receives and interprets it. Feedback is what the receiver communicates back after or while understanding the message. It may be a spoken reply, written answer, question, nod, facial expression, or another meaningful signal. Feedback helps the sender know whether the message was understood, accepted, misunderstood, or in need of clarification. B is not feedback because hiding prevents a response. C ignores the receiver and therefore removes an important part of two-way communication. D ends or blocks communication rather than responding to it. Feedback need not always be agreement; even a question can show that the receiver is engaged but needs more explanation. Memory cue: feedback travels back from receiver to sender.
