Options:

The linear model of communication
The linear model of communication comes in one way straight-line communication with procedure simple and easy to understand that does not involve any feedback from the receiver.
This model of communication comprised three elements,
the first part is the sender, who is speaking and
the second part of the model is the channel, transmitting the message and
the last part of the model is the receiver who collects the message.
The linear model of communication originated from Shannon and Weaver which late adapted by David Berlo into his own model known as the SMCR model of communication.
However, the Linear model is not appropriate in general human communication but applicable in mass media communication like television, radio, etc.
Important point
Shannon and Weaver’s model of communication is simple and broad which was later used to describe different fields of communication.
Other than the concept, sender, encoder, channel, decoder, and receiver of Shannon-Weaver’s model, there is also a concept of “noise” included in the model, that goes through the channel and reduces the message more difficult to recognize by the receiver.
Semantic is considered as problems related to the interpretation of meaning by the receiver as that of the intended meaning of the sender.
When a semantic information source sends a message, the source expects the destination to “understand” the message to some degree. The destination, thus, rather than mechanically decoding the syntax of the message, will be able to draw conclusions from the received message, as well as from its current local knowledge.
The linear model of communication is drafted by weaver and Shannon who believed that Semantic accuracy is the result of the linear model of communication.
🔴Additional Information:
Psychological disruption: psychological pressure, pre-occupation, stress, or threat.
Removal of physical noise: noise distractions including crackling on the telephone, background noise of the office, loud music from adjacent areas, a third party interrupting the conversation, or this may be a technical disturbance in the radio and television transmission.
High level of obstruction: factors interfere with communication making it in-effective i.e. delayed not received or misunderstood messages. Everything from physical barriers to nonverbal barriers results in a high level of obstruction in the communication process.
