Communication audits in institutions – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, D and E are correct, while C and F are wrong and therefore form the correct combination of wrong statements. Communication audits are equally relevant in educational settings to diagnose strengths and gaps. They may involve various tools and examine flows among multiple stakeholder groups. Claiming that audits are only for business or that results must never be shared ignores their developmental purpose. Hence C and F misrepresent the scope and use of communication audits.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it identifies C only as wrong and omits F, though F also contradicts the developmental intent of audits. While C wrongly restricts audits to business, F wrongly insists on secrecy. Selecting only C gives an incomplete set of wrong statements.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it groups C and F, the two statements that inaccurately limit or distort communication audits. It accepts A, B, D and E as valid descriptions of what audits are and how they operate. As a result, this option accurately captures all and only the incorrect statements.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect since it includes A as wrong along with C and F. A correctly defines a communication audit as a systematic assessment, so misclassifying it undermines the basic concept. Therefore A, C and F only cannot be accepted.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it labels E as wrong as well, even though E correctly notes that audits in educational institutions examine communication among key groups. Treating E as wrong diminishes understanding of the audit’s scope, so this combination is invalid.
