The correct answer is A. 3.
Conventional communication
signs are made up of three things:- A signifier is the physical form of the sign, such as a word, image, or gesture.
- A signified is the concept or idea that the sign represents.
- Interpretation is the process of understanding the meaning of the sign.
For example, the word “dog” is a signifier. The concept of a four-legged animal that barks is the signified. And the process of understanding that the word “dog” refers to a four-legged animal that barks is interpretation.
The other options are incorrect because they do not include all three of the necessary components of a conventional communication sign. Option B includes the signifier and the signified, but it does not include interpretation. Option C includes the signifier, the signified, and interpretation, but it does not specify that these three components are necessary for a conventional communication sign. Option D includes the signifier, the signified, interpretation, and a fourth component, which is not necessary for a conventional communication sign.
