In which situation can absence of feedback create the most confusion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When the sender does not know whether instructions were understood
Feedback completes the communication cycle by showing whether the receiver has understood the message and what action is likely to follow. Without feedback, a sender may assume that instructions are clear even when the receiver has misunderstood them, causing errors or delay. Option A describes this risk directly. The other options do not concern confirmation of understanding.
