Final answer:
A pictograph represents an idea with a picture, and an ideograph combines pictographs. The correct answer is C) Logograms because they represent words or syllables.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to define certain script systems used in ancient civilizations. When we consider that a pictograph is a picture representing an idea and an ideographic character links two or more pictographs to express an idea, the answer options present different types of writing systems. The Maya hieroglyphic writing is noted for being logographic, in that it uses signs (pictures, symbols, or letters) to represent syllables or words. Meanwhile, hieroglyphics refer specifically to a complex writing system developed around 3000 BCE in Egypt, and these symbols represented both sounds and ideas. Given the context provided and the definition of logograms as characters representing words or syllables, the correct answer from the options provided is C) Logograms.
