b) communication is relational 
c) communication is complicated 
d) communication is irreversible

D). Communication is irreversible.

Explanation: The following incident is an example of "Interpersonal Communication" and the phase both Amber and John are experiencing is the irreversible nature of communication. However, they both have apologized for their behavior. But, Mary is unable to forget the incorrect use of words by John for her. Here, they both are reflecting the cons of interpersonal communication which can also be thought of like a pro as this kind of conversation focuses on the follies and mistakes of each other and also enforcing the individuals to develop their character traits by altering their behavior. As deep down, Mary admits herself being a slob and thus, shows anger as she is not ready to accept her folly.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
