If a message is clear to the sender but is not understood by the receiver, on what basis will the success of communication be judged?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: By the receiver's understanding
Communication is effective when the receiver understands the intended meaning, not merely when the sender believes the message is clear. The receiver's understanding and feedback provide evidence of success. Presentation style and length can influence clarity, but neither proves that the meaning was understood. Thus, option B is correct.
