Effective oral communication involves active listening, clear and concise speaking, and providing constructive feedback. Barney's advice to let the speaker know if their remarks don't make sense aligns with providing constructive feedback and ensuring clear and concise communication. The other options either prioritize one person's speaking over the other (A and D) or prioritize understanding oneself over the listener (C), which do not align with effective oral communication.
