The final part of Lasswell's formula,"with what effect," focuses on the consequences of communication. It asks what changes occur in knowledge,attitudes or behaviour as a result of the message. These changes are the outcomes or effects of communication. Hence,the phrase refers to the outcome of communication.

Option A:
Channel is already covered in the phrase "in which channel" and denotes the medium,not the consequences.

Option B:
The outcome reflects whether the communicator achieved the intended impact on the audience,making option B the precise meaning of "with what effect."

Option C:
Sender is represented by "Who,"so it cannot be the meaning of the last phrase.

Option D:
Noise is not part of Lasswell's formula and instead comes from other models such as Shannon–Weaver.
