Explanation

On a standard 12-button touch-tone telephone, the asterisk (*) and pound/hash (#) symbols are the only two symbols that don't have associated digits. All other buttons (0-9, *, #) include the number keys, but * and # are pure symbols without numerical values.

AI explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the symbols on a touch tone phone.

A touch tone phone typically has 12 buttons, numbered from 0 to 9, along with the symbols * and #. The symbols * and # are not associated with any specific digit.

Let's go through each option to determine which symbols bear no digits:

Option A) ,! - This option is incorrect because the symbol ! is not present on a touch tone phone. Option B) #,@ - This option is incorrect because the symbol @ is not present on a touch tone phone. Option C) *,# - This option is correct because both * and # are symbols on a touch tone phone that do not represent any specific digit. Option D) &, - This option is incorrect because the symbol & is not present on a touch tone phone.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C. The symbols * and # bear no digits on a touch tone phone.
