A.

Explanation:

The context can be defined as a setting where communication happens. There are four types of context, physical, temporal, cultural, and social-psychological.

In the given scenario, the context that affects Richard's communication is the physical context. The physical setting such as church, home, club, office, etc. influences the way a person communicates in these settings. Each of these settings has its own rules and regulations for communicating.

A person cannot communicate in the office as he communicates in his home. Richard is well aware of the physical context and communicates accordingly.

Therefore, option A is correct.

Explanation:

Both social-psychological and cultural context relate to behavior of an individual within a group. Temporal context is communication within a sequence of current ("temporal") events. In this case of Richard, he is behaving according to the actual surrounding: home Vs at work. So the answer is a.) physical context.
