Y-Network.

Explanation:

Communication can be defined as a form of transferring a message from one person to another. This communication has a certain type of message transferring patterns.

There are five types of communication networks:

Y-Network Wheel Network Circle Network Chain Network All Channel or Star Network

The form of communication network used in the given case is Y-Network.

Y-Network is the network in which the message is transferred hierarchically. The message is transferred or communicated only through the leader as a central communicator. The message is communicated from top to bottom hierarchy.

In the given case, the housekeeper is the central communicator and the information is passed to the son (bottom in hierarchy) from parents Brian and Peggy (top in the hierarchy).

So, the correct answer is Y-Network.
