Official notices posted on a notice board are an example of which type?

• A. Formal Communication
• B. Informal Communication
• C. Communication Barriers
• D. Personal Communication

Answer: (A)

Official notices posted on a notice board demonstrate formal communication. They are official, planned messages issued by the organization and meant to reach a broad audience in a consistent, professional way. They’re usually written, standardized, and kept as a record, often covering policies, rules, or important information. Because they are not casual or personally addressed, they aren’t informal communication. They also aren’t communication barriers, which are things that hinder messages, nor are they personal communication, which involves direct, individual or small-group exchanges with a tailored tone.
