B Correct answer
Explanation

'Indication' in this context means a hint, suggestion, or piece of information that points toward something. When someone gets an indication about a change, they receive a subtle piece of information suggesting it. 'A hint' best captures this sense of receiving indirect information about something. 'A feeling' is too vague and internal, 'a guess' is speculation rather than being based on received information, 'a signal' is more direct and explicit, and 'an ultimatum' is a final demand, which is much more serious and forceful than an indication.
