Answer:

The answer is c. symbols.

Explanation:

Symbols represent a concept or idea conveyed by a different one. Besides objects, actions can also become symbols (bowing your head in some cultures as a sign of respect).

Symbols are an important part of symbolic interactionist perspectives, which view society as constructed upon the interactions between its members and the meaning behind these interactions.
