Anthropologist Clifford Geertz defined culture as ideas based on cultural learning and symbols. For anthropologist Leslie White, culture originated when our ancestors acquired the ability to use symbols. What is a symbol?
 
  A. a distinctive or unique cultural trait, pattern, or integration that can be translated into other cultures
  B. any element within a culture that distinguishes it from other cultures, precisely because it is difficult to translate
  C. something verbal or nonverbal within a particular language or culture that comes to stand for something else, with no necessary or natural connection to the thing for which it stands
  D. a linguistic sign within a particular language that comes to stand for something else in another language
  E. something verbal or nonverbal with a non-arbitrary association with what it symbolizes
