In order for a message to be sent successfully,which of the following must happen?

A) There must be empathy for the audience
B) You must tell the audience what technology platform was used
C) Cultural beliefs have to match between the sender and the receiver
D) It must be decoded and meaning must be assigned
E) The audience must be moved to respond

The message must be decoded and meaning must be assigned in order for it to be understood and acted upon. Empathy and cultural beliefs matching could potentially help with effectiveness, but are not necessary for the message to be sent successfully. Mentioning the technology platform used is irrelevant to the success of the message, and the audience being moved to respond is a separate issue from the message being sent successfully.
