The correct answer is: To understand a message

Efferent listening is primarily concerned with understanding and retaining the information being conveyed in the message. This type of listening focuses on the content of the message with the goal of extracting important information, concepts, or details that can be utilized later. It is often employed in academic or professional settings where comprehending the material is essential for tasks such as note-taking, studying, or implementing learned concepts. The emphasis on understanding indicates that this listening mode is about grasping the meaning and context of what is being said, allowing the listener to effectively assimilate the information for future reference or application.
