What term describes a process that includes a sender and a receiver each giving feedback to the other?

• A. Interpersonal
• B. Communication
• C. Speaking
• D. Correspondence

Answer: (B)

Two-way feedback is a hallmark of effective communication. In any communication, a sender encodes and transmits a message, and a receiver decodes it and then provides feedback, creating a loop that lets the sender know whether the message was understood and what to adjust. This back-and-forth exchange defines the process itself. The term that describes this full interaction is communication. Interpersonal refers to the relationship or type of interaction rather than the process; speaking is only one action within the exchange and doesn’t guarantee feedback; correspondence usually implies written messages and doesn’t inherently emphasize the reciprocal loop.
