Key Points

Semiotics, or semiology, studies signs, symbols, and signification. It is the study of how meaning is created, not what it is. Below are some brief definitions of semiotic terms, beginning with the smallest unit of meaning and proceeding towards the larger and more complex:

Sign Category	Example
Iconic	These are the signs where the signifier resembles the signified, e.g., a picture or Photograph.
Indexical	These are the signs where the signifier is caused by the signified, e.g., smoke signifies fire.
Symbolic	These are the signs where the relation between signifier and signified is purely conventional and culturally specific, e.g., most words or Letters of the alphabet.
Profusion of signs	These are the signs where the relation between signifier and signified is purely Language-based.

Therefore we can say that the correct code is (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
