The answer is E. Semaphore.
A record is a document or other item that provides evidence or information about something. Shorthand is a system of writing that uses symbols or abbreviations to represent words or phrases. Morse code is a system of communication that uses short and long sounds or flashes of light to represent letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. Codes are systems of symbols or words that have a special meaning. Semaphore is a system of communication that uses hand signals to represent letters, numbers, and other symbols.
Semaphore is the only option that is not a system of writing or communication. It is a system of hand signals that is used to communicate over long distances.
