Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: d) Explanation: Entropy implies tendency towards degeneration of order existing within systems (e. g., when the perspective of a communicative goal is lost, verbal communication may easily lead to a breakdown) .

Detailed explanation-2: -Entropy refers to the message that conveys unpredictable information to the receiver. So here entropy is related to the order or sequence in which the message is transferred through a channel to the receiver.

Detailed explanation-3: -A communication breakdown is defined as a failure to exchange information, resulting in a lack of communication.

Detailed explanation-4: -Communication requires energy, and using energy requires communication. According to Shannon, the entropy value of a piece of information provides an absolute limit on the shortest possible average length of a message, or how much it can be compressed, without losing information as it is transmitted.

Detailed explanation-5: -Communication breakdown occurs if there is wrong perception by the receiver. Information Overload: Managers are surrounded with a pool of information. It is essential to control this information flow else the information is likely to be misinterpreted or forgotten or overlooked.
