Organisational communication barrier – UGC NET Question

Organisational barriers are linked to the structure and rules of an institution. When messages pass through many levels of hierarchy,they may be delayed,distorted or filtered. The stem describes exactly this situation,so the barrier is organisational.

Option A:
Semantic barriers occur when the meaning of words is unclear,which is different from distortion caused by multiple levels of authority.

Option B:
Physical barriers involve distance or environmental obstacles,not the number of hierarchical layers.

Option C:
Psychological barriers are internal to individuals,such as fear or prejudice,and do not directly explain the structural delay described.

Option D:
Organisational barriers remind administrators that excessive hierarchy can reduce communication efficiency,making option D correct.
