Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Push communication: Information is sent directly to stakeholders.
Why this is correct
This correctly defines push communication as a method where the sender actively sends information to recipients.
Pull communication: Information sent directly to stakeholders.

Push communication: Information is made available for retrieval.
Why it's wrong here

Pull communication: Stakeholders access information at their convenience.
Why this is correct
This correctly defines pull communication as a method where recipients retrieve information when needed.
