I would say that all of these options can be applied to languages.
Language is a system of signs representing ideas - we have our letters,
or characters in Asian languages that help us write down what we want to
express. B is also correct because when you communicate, be it verbal
or nonverbal communication, you are using a form of a language. C is
also correct because all languages have been made up by someone. D is
also true because all languages have some kind of rules that govern
them.

Language is  a system of signs represrnting ideas to convey a message. Those symbols, which are words can be arbitrary, ambiguous, abstract representations of other phenomena. Words are not intrinsically connected to what they represent. Meanings of words can shift over time. The arbitrary character allows us to invent new words.

Language is ruled guided, simply put, verbal communication is guided by unspoken but broadly understood rules.

So I would say that option A, C and D are correct.

Meanwhile, I think that option B is incorrect since a mean of communication is understood as the tool and technology employed in order to convey a message, exchange information, ideas.
