A. interestedness
B. humility
C. concentration
D. poor listening
✅ The correct answer is option D.
The foremost barrier to oral communication is poor listening. Poor listening skills can result from: Lack of involvement with the other person or the topic at hand: you just don’t care enough to listen. Distractions in the environment such as excessive noise or activity. Disagreement with the speaker, resulting in mentally “shutting off” the other person.
