Explanation:

• "They are always clear and obvious" is wrong as social signals can be subtle or ambiguous.
• "Only peers send them to each other" is wrong as social signals are sent in various relationships (e.g., parent - child, teacher - student).
• "They tell you everything you need to know" is wrong as social signals don't convey all information.
• "They may have different meanings across cultures" is correct because cultural norms influence the interpretation of social signals (e.g., eye contact has different meanings in different cultures).

Answer:

D. They may have different meanings across cultures.
