Media richness refers to the amount of information that can be conveyed through a communication channel. The more information a channel can convey, the richer it is. Therefore, option B, which states that the less information offered via a given channel, the leaner it is, is the correct choice. The other options are incorrect because written communication may not be the richest channel in all situations, the number of people involved does not determine the richness of the channel, and a leaner channel may lead to less understanding.
