Answer 2

“Communication” is not an element of communication process.

Explanation:  

• The communication process is the one that keeps moving between the messaging (communicator) and the (receiver). In this process, communicators, messages and recipients are the three basic elements that begin the ‘communication process’. Communicator and receiver have important role in message transmission.
• Communicator is the person who starts the ‘communication process’, the communicator encodes the message to be communicated, and the message can be textual or nonverbal or may be written, symbolic. The medium is through which the message is to be delivered to the recipient. The recipient is the one who decodes the message after its receipt and interprets it, after accepting the message; the receiver expresses his response to the message, i.e. his response.
