Which statement best defines communication skills?

• A. Traffic Safety Rules
• B. Budgeting and Expense Methods
• C. Planning Meals
• D. The Ability to Express Thoughts Clearly and Listen Effectively

Answer: (D)

Clear and effective communication revolves around two main abilities: expressing thoughts in a way others can understand, and listening intently to others. This combination lets people share ideas, needs, and feelings, respond appropriately, and build trust—key for healthy relationships and teamwork in family and development contexts. The other options describe separate skills or tasks (safety rules, budgeting, meal planning) that don’t define how we communicate.
