definition:

Signal phrases are short phrases that introduce a quote, paraphrase, or summary; they signal to readers that an outside source is being used.

why?

i believe it is this one because you are paraphrasing and not using direct quote, which is plagiarism. you are also not crediting the source you are using in this case. the signal phrase is a short phrase that would be paraphrased to make it like your writing.
