Answer 1

C. The interpretation of the message is affected by the receiver's emotion

Step-by-step explanation:

It is said that when we communicate, our personal experience and view of the world have a strong influence on the messages that we form in our minds and communicate to others. Each one of us sees the world through a mental filter, which colors our communication.

The sender sees the world through one set of filters and the receiver sees it through a different set. Each message has to pass, therefore, through two sets of filters.

The filters aren't only mental or psychological, but they can also be cultural.
