Which description corresponds to the I am ready hand signal?

• A. Are you ready hand signal
• B. Face the unit being signaled, and extend one arm 45 degrees above the other
• C. Execute the signal, are you ready
• D. Execute the signal, are you ready

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that the I am ready hand signal communicates both action and confirmation to the team. You perform the signal and immediately ask, “Are you ready?” to verify everyone is prepared to move forward. This combination ensures clear, two-way communication and reduces the chance of someone proceeding without being ready. The description that matches this is the one that pairs executing the signal with the verbal prompt. The other options either only name the signal, describe a different hand position, or omit the verbal prompt, which would not reliably convey readiness.
