Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
C)Selective perception leads listeners to mold messages to fit their own conceptual frameworks. Listeners sometimes make up their minds before fully hearing the speaker's message, or they engage in defensive listening-protecting their egos by tuning out anything that doesn't confirm their beliefs or their view of themselves.
