The correct answer is B. Something that represents something else
Step-by-step explanation:
In general terms, a symbol refers to an object, character, idea, animal, etc that is included to represent a broader or complex idea. This is commonly in literature by certain writers to address themes or in other fields to represent ideas that are not tangible and therefore are easy to represent by using a specific object. This means in general terms a symbol is using something to represent something else; for example, a universal symbol is the use of a red heart to represent love or the use of a skull to represent danger.
