Answer:Physical Distraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Robert finds it difficult to hear his boss each instruction because of physical distractions created by Caitlin and Josh.

Physical distraction can be created in many ways like

  • Creating noises
  • Blocking or disturbing the eye contact between speaker and listener.

Thus any form of involvement between the two is considered a distraction and weakens their communication.

The correct answer is "Physical Distraction".

The barrier that hindered Robert from listening to the instructions that his boss was giving out was known as a Physical Distraction. The Physical Distraction present in the scenario is the noise made by the discussion between his co-workers. Physical Distractions can be anything that causing the inability to listen or to see things clearly.
