I believe the answer is
There is no obvious connection between the sign and its meaning. Arbitrary is like a sign that has no connection to its meaning while an iconic sign has an obvious connection between the sign and meaning. For example, the sign “baby” and “cat” and “banana”.

Answer: The answer is B), there is no obvious connection between the sign and its meaning.

  • Explanation: Because School, has no obvious connection, School is "School is signed by clapping your flat, open hands together, with the top hand's fingers perpendicularly angled to the bottom's. Lay your non-dominant hand open, palm facing up, then bring down your dominant hand to clap the two together."
