Communication between two or more people that is written or spoken is described by which term?

• A. Written Communication
• B. Verbal Communication
• C. Informal Communication
• D. Nonverbal Communication

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is how we categorize communication by how the message is delivered. Verbal communication is the term used for messages that use words, and it covers both spoken and written forms. Nonverbal communication is about messages conveyed without words (gestures, tone, facial expressions). Informal communication describes the level of formality or casualness, not the medium or mode of the message. Since the prompt specifies written or spoken, the term that best fits language-based messages is verbal communication. Written and spoken are both ways of delivering verbal messages, whereas the other options refer to style or to nonword-based cues.
