Answer:

(B) Noise, pyschological

Step-by-step explanation:

Psychological noise occurs when the person trying to heed the propagated message begins to let his mind wander over another subject. It is a noise present in the head of the person, which ends up impeding the understanding of the message, that is, the communication itself. Like Tracy, who is trying to make a communication about work, but her mind insists on thinking about the death of her dog.
