Which of the following is NOT a standard ground marshalling signal?

Ground marshalling relies on a fixed set of visual cues that marshalers use to guide aircraft on the ground. Stop is used to halt movement, Proceed tells the aircraft to move forward, and Hold Short means to stop before entering a runway or crossing. Rotate isn’t part of this standard set because turning the aircraft nose up and lifting off happens during takeoff and is driven by the pilot’s controls at the proper airspeed. A marshaler does not signal rotation; takeoff rotation is not a ground signal in the standard repertoire.
