The correct answer is

G.G. Brown

Several management and communication writers have defined communication. G.G. Brown defined it as 'a transfer of information from one person to another, whether or not it elicits confidence; but the information transferred must be understandable to the receiver'.

This definition stresses two points: communication is a transfer of information between persons, and the information must be understandable to the receiver. The stem paraphrases exactly these two points, so the definition is Brown's.

The other names are not associated with this definition. Writers such as Louis Allen, Koontz and O'Donnell, and Keith Davis gave other well-known definitions, which emphasise understanding or the passing of information and understanding from one person to another.

G.G. Brown option is correct.
