Semantic problem relates to

  • A.Behaviour of sender
  • B.Meaning associated with words
  • C.Intention of the speaker
  • D.None of the above

Answer: B

A semantic problem relates to the meaning associated with words.

Semantics is the study of meaning. Semantic barriers to communication arise when sender and receiver attach different meanings to the same word or symbol, for example through technical jargon, words with several meanings, ambiguous phrasing or poor translation, so that the message is understood differently from what was intended.

The sender's behaviour belongs to personal or psychological barriers, and the speaker's intention concerns motive rather than the meaning of words, so those options are wrong; 'None of the above' is ruled out because meaning is exactly what semantics deals with.
