The correct answer is topic-comment agreement. In sign languages, including ASL, the action of signing can often reflect a relationship between the topic (the part of the body being addressed) and the comment (the action or state associated with that body part). Therefore, signing "HURT" at a specific part of the body aligns with topic-comment agreement.
