A demerit of communication is that it

  1. makes payment for goods cumbersome
  2. increase the cost of goods in transit
  3. give room for distortion of fact ✓
  4. hinder quick reception of messages over a long distance
Explanation

A message can change as it passes from sender to receiver. People may mishear, misread or pass it on wrongly, so facts get distorted.

Modern communication speeds up messages over long distances, so the other options are not demerits.
