The correct definition of a contextual symbol is option C.

A contextual symbol appears only within the framework of a particular text.

The contextual symbol tends to be considered as an unique or original symbol that any author can create in his/her work or in collected works. Contextual symbols may be found in many modern, fantasy literatures in which symbols are created as elements that the main characters employ.
