What is the meaning of feedback in communication?

  1. Amplifying the message

  2. Affirming understanding and providing info

  3. Creating noise

  4. Transmitting a message

The correct answer is: Affirming understanding and providing info

Feedback in communication refers to the process of affirming understanding and providing information. It is a crucial element in effective communication as it allows the sender to ensure that the message is correctly received by the receiver. By providing feedback, the receiver can confirm their understanding, ask clarifying questions, or offer additional information, thus enhancing the overall communication process. Option A, amplifying the message, may not always be the primary purpose of feedback. Option C, creating noise, is not related to the concept of feedback in communication. Option D, transmitting a message, focuses on the initial sending of information rather than the response or feedback loop in communication.
