What is the general purpose of a yellow diamond sign like this one?

Correct answer: To warn of a hazard or a change in the road ahead
Why
Yellow diamond signs warn of hazards or changes in the road ahead so you can adjust speed and position in time. Read the symbol: this example shows bends, while other warning signs identify crossings, narrowed roadways or surface conditions. The warning is not a right-of-way grant or a maximum-speed regulation. Choose a safe speed for the actual road and conditions.
