Thanks for the invite.

In my opinion it is C - A message has little meaning without understanding the surrounding context.  It is so because in high-context culture many things are left unsaid , letting the culture explain. It means understanding the surrounding context becomes imperative. 

D. To understand a message, no information on history or personal opinions is needed.
