In closed communication, the hidden assumptions, inferences, and interpretations are not explicitly stated in the message. However, they can be conveyed through meta-communication, which is the nonverbal aspect of communication such as tone of voice, facial expressions, and gestures. Through meta-communication, the parties can convey their underlying thoughts and emotions even though they are not explicitly stated in the message. Therefore, C is the best choice as it accurately describes how the hidden aspects of closed communication are conveyed.
