This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2019 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (23-Jun-2019)
The correct answer is

Listening with images of stereotypes

Faulty listening happens when the listener does not receive the message as intended. Listening through stereotypes — prejudging the speaker by caste, gender, region, appearance or past image — filters and distorts the message.

Focussed attention and listening with the mind are features of good, active listening, and keeping questions to a minimum avoids interrupting the speaker; none of these causes faulty listening.

Hence, the answer is Listening with images of stereotypes.
