B. 1 മാത്രം

Contrary to general interactive workshops, a Symposium is distinctively characterized by its lecture or presentation-based format. While participant engagement is encouraged through Q&A, the primary flow of information is from the expert(s) to the audience. This one-way dominant communication model, combined with clearly pre-defined objectives, allows for efficient dissemination of specific knowledge and procedures, making it less about broad discussion and more about targeted information transfer.
