A type of selective listening that tunes out communication that is different from our views or does not interest us is selective:

A. perception.
B. focusing.
C. screening.
D. responding.

im confused between b and C

I'd choose C.

You'd screen out the stuff you don't want to hear and listen only to what you care about.

To determine the correct answer between options B and C, let's break down the terms and their definitions:

Selective perception refers to the tendency of individuals to perceive what they want to perceive or filter information in a way that aligns with their pre-existing beliefs or interests. This term does not align with the provided description.

Focusing refers to directing your attention and concentration on something specific. It does not necessarily imply an intentional act of tuning out communication.

Screening, on the other hand, implies a deliberate act of filtering or selectively listening to certain types of communication while disregarding others. This aligns with the description provided.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Selective listening is the phenomenon of screening out communication that is different from our views or does not interest us.
