When a person is choking, the universal sign is two hands grasping the neck. This gesture indicates that there is an obstruction in the airway. Pressing the abdomen (option A) is part of the Heimlich maneuver, not the sign. Pointing at an open mouth (option B) and pretending to cough (option D) are not the standard universal signs for choking.
