Which signal indicates an affirmative response?

Which signal indicates an affirmative response?

• A. X
• B. N
• C. Y
• D. An Arrow

Answer: (C)

Affirmative responses are about confirming or agreeing. In many signaling schemes, the way to show agreement is by using a shorthand for Yes. That makes the signal clearly stand for an affirmative answer. The other signals don’t carry that meaning: a cross-like mark is usually a cue for incorrect or to cancel; N represents No, the opposite of yes; and an Arrow just points direction or indicates action, not confirmation. So the signal that indicates an affirmative response is the one that conveys Yes.
