This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2022 Paper 1 Question Paper (22-Oct-2022) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Formal language

Concept: Human beings communicate mostly through language. A large, organised part of societal exchange — laws, education, media, administration, agreements — is carried out through structured, rule-governed formal language rather than casual signals.

Reasoning: A good part of communication in human society is through formal language, because organised social life depends on a shared, systematic verbal code that everyone can decode reliably.

Why the other choices are wrong:
- Para language (tone, pitch, pauses) only accompanies and modifies speech; it is a supporting layer, not the main channel of societal communication.
- Infographics (visual data representation) are a specialised, limited modern tool, not the bulk of everyday human communication.
- Hidden emotions are internal and often unexpressed; by definition they are not the shared medium through which society communicates.

Takeaway: Structured verbal/formal language forms the backbone of communication in organised human society.

Correct answer: Formal language
