Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Communication channels can be classified as lean or rich, depending on the amount and quality of information they can convey. A rich communication channel allows for conversation, a quick response, and the chance for interaction, as well as conveys non-verbal cues, such as emotion and feelings, tone or gestures. Examples of rich communication channels are face-to-face meetings, video calls, or phone calls. Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are true.

Absolutely, option C is correct. A 'rich' communication channel allows for quick response and interaction, and also conveys non-verbal cues like emotion and tone. That's the best of both worlds!
