Radio broadcast communication type – UGC NET Question

Mass communication occurs when a single source sends messages to large,heterogeneous audiences through media such as radio,TV or newspapers. A university programme broadcast over radio reaches many distant learners simultaneously. This is a classic one to many pattern,so it is mass communication.

Option A:
Interpersonal communication usually involves direct,face to face interaction between a small number of people,rather than a broadcast to the public.

Option B:
Intrapersonal communication is internal self talk within one person and does not involve a radio audience.

Option C:
Group communication describes interaction among members of a small group meeting together,not a mass broadcast across distances.

Option D:
Because the example in the stem uses radio to reach many dispersed learners at once,mass communication is the most accurate label.
