Which term means the medium through which a message is transmitted?

• A. Receiver
• B. Sender
• C. Channel of Transmission
• D. Feedback

Answer: (C)

The channel of transmission is the medium that carries the message from the sender to the receiver. It’s the conduit you think of when you imagine how a message travels—whether it’s spoken words through air, signals transmitted by radio waves, or data sent over a cable or the internet. This channel can affect how clearly a message arrives, and it can be influenced by factors like noise and interference.

The sender is the source who encodes and sends the message, the receiver is the person who gets it and decodes it, and feedback is the response the receiver sends back to show whether the message was understood. So the term that best fits “the medium through which a message is transmitted” is the channel of transmission.
