Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Semantic noise is a type of communication barrier that occurs when the receiver does not understand the meaning of the message. It involves factors such as language barriers, jargon, cultural differences, and misunderstandings. Unlike physical noise, which is an external distraction that can interfere with the transmission of the message, semantic noise is a part of the message itself that needs to be decoded by the receiver. It is not determined solely by the sender and can happen in any language or cultural context. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
