The correct answer is the following.

When geographers refer to music as a cultural signifier, they mean that music is an important component of the identity and culture of humans. It is a cultural signifier because geographers can understand the culture of a region by studying the music, the lyrics that express history, traditions, and stories that help scholars to understand why some people in a society behave the way they behave.
