The correct answer is

(a) and (b)

Colour is a form of non-verbal communication whose meaning is shaped mainly along two dimensions. First, colour produces aesthetic codes — it creates beauty, mood, harmony and visual appeal (for example, colour schemes in art, design and film that generate a felt response). Second, colour produces cultural codes — the same colour is read differently across cultures and social contexts (for example, white signifying purity in some cultures and mourning in others, or red signifying auspiciousness, danger or celebration depending on the community). Hence communication through colour results in aesthetic codes and cultural codes.

Semantic codes deal with fixed linguistic word-meaning and binary codes deal with machine-level 0/1 digital encoding; neither describes how colour communicates emotion or shared social significance, so the pairings that include them are not appropriate.

Correct answer: (a) and (b)
