Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer

Members of the Order of the Phoenix communicate using their patronuses, particularly Dumbledore's phoenix patronus Fawkes, which can carry messages without being intercepted. This method is secure because Death Eaters cannot produce patronuses (they require positive emotions). Floo powder is too public, talking animals aren't mentioned as Order communication, and enchanted coins are used by Dumbledore's Army, not the Order.
