Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Selective perception is when a receiver filters out information that they deem as unimportant or irrelevant to them. While this can save time, it can also result in mistakes as important messages may be missed. The other options are incorrect. Jargon refers to specialized language used by a particular group and is not tailored to the audience. An emotionally upset receiver may have difficulty receiving and processing information from the sender. There are many words that can inflame or insult people, such as racial slurs or derogatory terms.
