what is busting forth of blood?

The term that refers to education, experiences, social and cultural expectations, and religious beliefs as the listener's factors is known as "reference points." These are the aspects or perspectives that the listener uses to interpret and understand the messages being communicated to them.

To arrive at this answer, let's break down the other options and explain why they are not the correct choices:

A. Messages: Messages refer to the actual communication being sent from the speaker to the listener. They do not represent the listener's perspective or background.

B. Obstacles to communication: While education, experiences, social and cultural expectations, and religious beliefs can sometimes create barriers or challenges to effective communication, using the term "obstacles to communication" is too broad to specifically describe these factors that contribute to the listener's perspective.

D. Defense mechanisms: Defense mechanisms are psychological strategies that individuals use to protect themselves from perceived threats or anxieties. They are not directly related to the listener's background or reference points.

Therefore, the correct answer is indeed C. Reference points best describes education, experiences, social and cultural expectations, and religious beliefs as factors that shape the listener's understanding and interpretation of messages.
