Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Regulative rule

The correct answer is the Regulative rule.

• Regulative rules are those that regulate behaviour.
  • In this rule, we must look toward making what we should do in a communication interaction.
  • It guides the behaviour of the conversation.
  • It communicates what is going to happen next in the process.

• Constitutive rule:
  • It is used by the communicator to understand the message.
  • In other words, it helps in understanding how to create meaning.
• Constructive rule:
  • ​It is used by the communicator to build healthy relationships with the sender.
  • It helps in preventing miscommunication and conflicts.
• Disjunctive rule:
  • In this, the communicator sets some standards and if the sender meets or exceeds those standards, then communication becomes successful.
