Explanation

In the standard communication model, the decoder is the device or person that converts the transmitted signal back into a meaningful message on the receiver's end. In this scenario, Holly (sender) encodes a message into a fax signal. The telephone wire is the medium/channel. The client's fax machine receives the fax signal and decodes it back into a readable document-making it the decoder. The project customer (A) is the receiver who reads and interprets the decoded message. Holly (C) is the sender/encoder. This distinction between the decoder (fax machine) and the receiver (customer) is a key concept in PMP communication theory.
