The model of communication stating that giving and receiving messages is simultaneous and mutual is called the transactional model. This model describes the communication as an ongoing and continuously changing process.

The correct answer is the transactional model.

The transactional model of communication states that communication that occurs between two parties is a back-and-forth transaction, where messages are given and received simultaneously by both involved parties. The transactional model of communication was originally developed by Dean Barnlund in 1970.
