Solution

The correct option is A Chirology
Traditionally, the Bushmen have had a hunter-gatherer culture, living in temporary wooden and rock shelters and caves of the Kalahari in southwest Africa. They have a remarkably complex language characterized by the use of click sounds. While they have no collective name for themselves in any of their languages, they identify themselves as a larger group with such names as Ju/’hoansi (the punctuation characters representing different clicks). Hence, the sign language used during hunting by Bushmen of Kalahari is related to chirology.
So, the correct answer is 'chirology'.
