Communication is the subset of __________:

Communication is a process by which information is transmitted from one entity to another. Key Points

• Communication is a subset of diffusion because diffusion refers to the broader process of spreading something more widely.
• In the context of information and ideas, diffusion involves the gradual dispersion of messages across a population, culture, or system.
• Communication, on the other hand, is a more structured and intentional process of transmitting messages using specific mediums, ensuring the exchange of information between individuals or groups.
• While diffusion can be spontaneous or unstructured, communication follows a deliberate pathway involving a sender and a receiver.
• The two are related in the sense that effective communication contributes to the diffusion of knowledge and information across societies.

Hint

• Channel refers to the medium through which communication occurs, such as verbal, written, or digital modes. 
• A transmitter is a device or entity responsible for sending signals or messages to a receiver. 
• A receiver is the individual or device that interprets and understands the transmitted message.

Hence, the correct answer is diffusion.
