Which of the following component of the communication model is responsible for transferring the message between two or more entities?

The sender is the originator who encodes and initiates the message; it is the source of the communication, not the transfer mechanism.

The medium, also called the channel, is the conduit through which an encoded message travels between communicating parties. It can take the form of spoken audio, written text, electronic signals, or any other transmission pathway. Characteristics of the medium - such as noise, bandwidth, or latency - directly determine whether the message arrives intact and is understood correctly.

The decoder is the process or entity that interprets the received signal back into a meaningful message after transmission has already occurred.

The receiver is the intended destination that accepts and decodes the message; it is the endpoint, not the component responsible for transferring the message.
