The correct answer is

A transactional model

In a group discussion organised to solve a problem, every participant both sends and receives messages at the same time; roles of speaker and listener are continuously exchanged, meaning is built jointly, and feedback is simultaneous. A model in which communicators act as senders and receivers at once, co-creating meaning in a shared context, is the transactional model.

The interaction model treats communication as an alternating exchange — one person speaks, then the other responds with feedback in turns — which is less simultaneous than the mutual, ongoing meaning-making of a lively discussion. A horizontal model merely refers to communication among equals on the same level and does not capture the simultaneous sender-receiver dynamic. A linear model is strictly one-way, from source to receiver with no feedback, which plainly does not describe an interactive problem-solving discussion. The rich, two-way, simultaneous nature of the group discussion fits the transactional model best.

Correct answer: A transactional model
