Final answer:

Naranjas (oranges) are NOT typically a symbol of Día de Muertos, unlike Calacas (skeletons), Velas (candles), and Cempasúchil (marigold flowers), which are traditional symbols of the holiday. Therefore, the incorrect option is C

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which of the following is NOT a symbol associated with the Mexican Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead. The symbols listed are Calacas (skeletons), Velas (candles), Naranjas (oranges), and Cempasúchil (marigold flowers). From these options, the one that is NOT typically a symbol of Día de Muertos is C.
