please select the best answer from the choices provided

Explanation:

Graphic design is a form of communication that uses symbols and stylistic elements. Option a captures this essence as it emphasizes the use of symbols and stylistic elements for message - conveyance. Option b is too narrow as it focuses only on social/political messages and specific printing techniques. Option c is also narrow, concentrating mainly on page - appearance planning. Option d is more about product/service meaning within a cultural/artistic context through symbols, which is not as comprehensive as option a in defining graphic design.

Answer:

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