Correct answer: "The location of a sign changes its meaning."

Explanation: Location is one of the core parameters of sign languages (along with handshape, movement, palm orientation, and non‑manual markers). Changing where a sign is produced can change its meaning — for example, the signs for MOTHER (chin) and FATHER (forehead) use the same handshape but different locations.
