Encoding refers to the process of converting the information and ideas in a message into a form that can be transmitted through a particular communication medium. This process is initiated by the sender, who selects the words, phrases, symbols or images that will best convey their intended meaning to the receiver. The sender needs to consider the context, audience and purpose of the message and to tailor their encoding in a way that will be most effective. Therefore, A, the sender of the message, is the best choice for this question.
