What is the correct definition of a contextual symbol

What is the correct definition of a contextual symbol?

A contextual symbol appears exclusively within the framework of a specific text (option C). It can be described as a "unique or original symbol" that an author creates within their work or across a collection of works. These symbols are often seen in modern or fantasy literature, where they serve as elements integral to the narrative or as tools utilized by the main characters.

A literary or contextual symbol can be a setting, character, action, object, name, or anything else in a work that maintains its literal significance while. suggesting other meanings. Such symbols go beyond conventional symbols; they gain their symbolic. meaning within the context of a specific story.

A symbol is something (or someone) that represents an idea, concept or object, or that suggest another meaning that is entirely different from its actual form.  A contextual symbol, then, is a symbol whose meaning is not widely recognized by a society or culture, instead, its one that can only be recognized within the context or framework of a specific story because these are unique symbols that authors created to serve a certain purpose in the story.

The correct definition of a contextual symbol is option C. A contextual symbol appears only within the framework of a particular text. The contextual symbol tends to be considered as an unique or original symbol that any author can create in his/her work or in collected works. Contextual symbols may be found in many modern, fantasy literatures in which symbols are created as elements that the main characters employ.
