Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
CONCEPT
Communication levels are classified by who participates in the exchange and by the size of the communicating unit.
Interpersonal communication occurs between separate persons, commonly through direct face-to-face interaction. It differs from intrapersonal, group, and mass communication.
APPLICATION
Direct face-to-face exchange and communication between two persons both describe the interpersonal level.
CONTRAST
Communication with a group of people belongs to group communication, where more than two participants interact as a group.
Communication with a large anonymous audience belongs to mass communication, where the audience is dispersed and not personally known to the sender.
Communication within oneself is intrapersonal communication, because the sender and receiver are the same person.
RESULT
Therefore, the applicable statements are Direct face to face and Between two persons, corresponding to (A) and (D) only.
