Levels of educational communication – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and C are correct, whereas D is incorrect. A is true because intrapersonal communication includes self-reflection, internal dialogue and self-questioning used by learners and teachers. B is true since interpersonal communication commonly appears in counselling or mentoring sessions involving two people. C is true as group communication covers small group interactions aimed at a shared assignment or project. D is false because mass communication usually addresses large, dispersed audiences through media, not small face-to-face classroom groups.

Option A:
Option A lists A and B only and omits C, ignoring the important level of group communication relevant to educational teamwork. Although A and B are correct, leaving out C means the answer does not cover all the correct statements given. Therefore A and B only is incomplete and cannot be accepted.

Option B:
Option B includes B and C but leaves out A, failing to mention intrapersonal communication which is fundamental for self-reflection and self-regulation in learning. Since A is also a correct statement, restricting the set to B and C only underrepresents the full range of levels mentioned. Consequently this option is not correct.

Option C:
Option C correctly groups A, B and C and excludes D, which misdefines mass communication as a small face-to-face situation. By including all the true statements about intrapersonal, interpersonal and group communication and rejecting the false one, this option accurately reflects the levels of communication in education. Hence A, B and C only is the correct answer.

Option D:
Option D treats A, B, C and D as all correct, but D contradicts standard understanding of mass communication as a large-scale mediated process. Including D with the correct statements makes the combination internally inconsistent. For this reason, this option cannot be chosen.
