Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Assertion A is false. Allowing an issue to fester means allowing it to remain unresolved and grow more serious. Such unresolved issues create distrust, confusion and psychological barriers, so they disrupt effective communication rather than contributing to it.
Reason R is true. A good communicator, especially in a classroom, addresses an issue before it becomes serious or precarious. Timely clarification and intervention help maintain a healthy communication environment.
Therefore, A is false but R is true.
