b. film music is inaudible.
c. film music is a signifier of emotion.
d. film music does not provide referential cues.
e. film music does not help in constructing formal and narrative unity.

Explanation:

Katherine Gorbman's film music principles note that film music acts as a signifier of emotion, amplifying and conveying the characters' feelings and the tone of scenes. Frozen uses music heavily to communicate emotions (e.g., "Let It Go" for self-empowerment, "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" for loneliness). The other options are incorrect: film music is audible, does not provide invisibility, does offer referential cues, and does help with narrative unity.

Answer:

C. Film music is a signifier of emotion.
