Answer 1

Answer: Option A is a type of noise in a communication channel

Explanation: The use of technical jargon a receiver doesn't understand in the process of communication is a type of noise called semantic noise.

This type of noise in communication causes confusion, and since a confusion is created in a communication channel, it is called a noise. Because the receiver of the information doesn't understand the information been passed and since the message or information is not understood, then communication has not been established and an example of such tool that can cause noise is the use of technical jargon in a communication process which the receiver does not understand.
