Answer 1

Correct answer: the sign for "Children" involves making the sign for "Child" with both hands at the same time instead of one hand.

Explanation: In ASL, singular "child" is signed with one hand; to indicate plural "children" you sign the same sign with both hands (or repeat the sign) to show more than one child.
