Correct answer: A
Correct answer: (A) and (B) only.
Communication barriers (physical, psychological, linguistic, semantic or organisational) distort or block the message that a teacher wants to convey. When these barriers are removed, classroom communication becomes clear and two-way.
Statement (A) — Clear enunciation of specific instructional behaviours: with the noise removed, the teacher can state learning objectives and instructions precisely, so this is a genuine result. Correct.
Statement (B) — A climate of purposeful student interaction: open, barrier-free channels encourage students to ask, respond and discuss meaningfully, producing purposeful interaction. Correct.
Statement (C) — Promotion of personality cult: this is a negative, undesirable outcome unrelated to clearer communication; effective communication is learner-centred, not teacher-glorifying. Hence it is not a result.
Statement (D) — The irrelevance of illustrative examples: examples and illustrations actually become more useful, not irrelevant, when communication improves. Hence it is wrong.
Therefore only statements (A) and (B) follow from removing communication barriers, which matches option (A) and (B) only.
