Correct Answer: Semantic barrier


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Semantic barrier

A semantic barrier is a type of communication barrier that arises from differences in language, interpretation of words, symbols, or meanings. In this case, the struggle to understand complex technical terms and jargon represents a semantic barrier. The use of specialized technical language can create confusion and hinder effective communication, especially when employees are not familiar with these terms. A psychological barrier involves mental factors affecting communication, an organizational barrier pertains to obstacles within the structure of the organization, and a personal barrier involves individual traits affecting communication.
