Redundancy supporting clarity – UGC NET Question

Redundancy in communication refers to deliberate repetition or inclusion of extra cues to ensure the message is received accurately. Summarising and repeating key points help learners recall important ideas and reduce the chance of missing information. Thus the teacher’s repetition adds redundancy to the message.

Option A:
Noise is unwanted interference that harms understanding,whereas redundancy is added precisely to counter loss of meaning.

Option B:
Redundant elements support memory by reinforcing the main concepts,which aligns with the stem,making option B correct.

Option C:
Secrecy hides information instead of repeating it,so it does not describe this situation.

Option D:
Distortion alters the message and creates misunderstanding,which is opposite to the intention of summarising clearly.
