Explanation:

According to the provided definition, a criminal street gang has "as one of its primary activities the commission of one or more of the criminal acts" (so participating in criminal activity is a characteristic), "having a common name or common identifying sign or symbol" (so having a common name and sharing an identifying sign or symbol are characteristics). The definition says "three or more persons" (not five or more), and there is no mention of gender restriction (so including men only is incorrect).

Answer:

participating in criminal activity, having a common name, sharing an identifying sign or symbol
