Which three activities are involved in passing information?

• A. Encoding, Transmission, Decoding
• B. Concealing, Transmitting, Decrypting
• C. Planning, Executing, Reviewing
• D. Listening, Speaking, Writing

Answer: (A)

Passing information follows a simple flow: you encode your thoughts into a message, transmit that encoded signal through a channel, and the recipient decodes it back into meaning. Encoding involves choosing words, symbols, or signals that represent the idea. Transmission is sending that encoded signal—speaking, writing, or sending a digital message. Decoding is interpreting the signal so the receiver understands what was meant. The other options don’t fit the general transfer process: concealing is about hiding information, decrypting is only relevant when dealing with encrypted content, and planning, executing, reviewing or listening, speaking, writing describe activities around communication but not the three-step process of encoding, sending, and decoding.
