Answer 1

The best answer is:

**c** communication refers to the design's ability to put forth a message while functionality refers to how well the design serves a purpose.

This option accurately captures the distinction between communication as conveying a message (which can involve visual elements, branding, and overall messaging) and functionality as the practical aspect of how well the design serves its intended use or purpose.
