Answer 1

Semantic barrier

Explanation:

“Unclarified assumption and different interpretations” are classified as semantic barriers in communication. These barriers arise due to problems in encoding and decoding messages, often caused by different meanings attached to words, phrases, or symbols. When assumptions are not clarified or interpretations vary, the message is not understood as intended, leading to communication breakdowns.
