Feedback is the response or reaction of the receiver to a message sent by the sender. It can be formal acknowledgment or indirect evidence from the actions of the receiver, indicating whether the message has been received and interpreted correctly. Therefore, option C- formal acknowledgment, or indirect evidence from the receiver's actions, is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because it refers to encoding, which is part of the sender's responsibility in the first step of the model. Option B is incorrect because feedback is an integral part of the communication process model. Option D is incorrect because a message from the receiver would be considered feedback. Lastly, option E is incorrect because feedback comes after the first two steps of the model.
