please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

Graphic design is fundamentally about communication. It uses symbols and stylistic elements (like color, typography, imagery) to convey a message. Option b limits it to social - political messages and specific printing techniques, which is too narrow. Option c focuses only on page appearance, missing the communication aspect. Option d's mention of "contained within a product or service" is not as comprehensive as the general communication focus in option a.

Answer:

A. An artistic and professional form of communication that focuses on the use of symbols and stylistic elements to convey a message.
