The main function of signal words is C. They alert the reader that the article is about to end.

Signal words or transition words are used by the author to connect ideas. There are different connections between ideas. Signal words show emphasis, addition, contrast, comparison, cause and effect, and sequence among others. They are like signposts that show the way the author connects ideas, and help the reader to be alert because the article is about to end.
