The sequential order of mass communication elements is (A) Source and encoder…

Concept

A communication process links a sender to a receiver through a message and a channel. The sender first encodes an idea, the encoded message travels through a medium, the receiver decodes it, and feedback returns the receiver’s response to the sender.

Application

1. The source originates the idea and the encoder converts it into communicable symbols: (A).

2. Those symbols form the message that has to be transmitted: (B).

3. The message then travels through the selected medium or channel: (C).

4. At the receiving end, the decoder interprets the transmitted symbols: (D).

5. The receiver’s response returns as feedback and completes the loop: (E).

Cross-check

Reading the chain by function gives source and encoder → message → medium → decoder → feedback. This independently matches the sender-to-receiver flow and names the accepted sequence by value.
