Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A signature is a symbol executed, or adopted, for the purpose of authenticating a writing. A signature can be a person's name written out in a particular way or a mark of some kind that represents a person. It is used to signify that the writing, like a contract or agreement, is valid and binding. The other options (stamp, icon, mark) can be used as a form of authentication, but none of them specifically represents a person's authorization or intent to sign a document.
