Why is it risky to interpret a receiver's silence as agreement?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Silence may also indicate disagreement, hesitation, or confusion

Silence is a non-verbal response whose meaning depends on the situation, relationship, culture, and individual. A receiver may be disagreeing, confused, hesitant, uncomfortable, or simply unable to respond, so silence cannot safely be treated as agreement. Option D is correct. Technical noise is a channel or device problem, not the only possible meaning of silence. Effective communication requires a follow-up question or explicit feedback to confirm understanding.
