The answer is B: decoding.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Encoding: This stage involves the sender of the message (Wayne) converting their thoughts into a communicable form. Wayne encoded his message by saying he would call Lindsay "soon." There is no indication that Wayne had trouble expressing his message, so encoding is not the stage where the error occurred.

  2. Decoding: This stage involves the receiver of the message (Lindsay) interpreting or making sense of the message. Lindsay interpreted "soon" to mean the next day, while Wayne meant it to be within three weeks. The error occurred because Lindsay's interpretation (decoding) of "soon" did not match Wayne's intended meaning.

  3. Channeling: This stage refers to the medium through which the message is sent. In this case, the message was communicated verbally during their date. There is no indication that the medium of communication caused any misunderstanding, so channeling is not the stage where the error occurred.

  4. Noise: This refers to any external or internal interference that might distort or hinder the communication process. There is no mention of any interference that affected the communication between Wayne and Lindsay, so noise is not the stage where the error occurred.

Therefore, Lindsay most likely made an error during the decoding stage of the communication process.
