A refer to any text that includes visual or auditory elements, regardless of whether these modes interact or contribute to a unified meaning, focusing on the presence of multiple media.
B construct meaning through the coordinated use of several semiotic modes, requiring attention to the interplay among these modes to achieve their communicative goals.
C combine visual, auditory, and textual elements, yet their primary goal is decorative, emphasizing aesthetic arrangement rather than the coordinated creation of meaning.
D are collections of materials that use multiple semiotic modes, where the meaning is determined mainly by the textual component, and other modes are in random communication schemes.
E consist of integrating various modes in a text, but the modes are optional and the communicative effect does not depend on how the modes interact to convey meaning.
