It doesn't say it should be plural either. (I noticed there are inconsistencies in the acceptable answers. They either accept singular or plural form as correct, not both)
Why can't "Raise your hand" be correct?

So, like most other sentences so far, this one would be context driven as far as whose hands are supposed to be raised, right?

Yes, you're absolutely right, it's all about context.
My best guess is that this is used as an imperative.
In the imperative mood, the base form of the verb is used.
No affix.
Some context :
You could use this sentence if you're pointing a gun at someone and don't want to shoot immediately.

The pronounciation/record is sooo bad we can even understand what the speker says.
The "your" is implicit because this is a command - The sentence is in imperative form and unless there's some contextual reason for us to raise some other hands, the obvious hands to raise are our own.
