D - Distinctive

Distictive is a characteristic that sets one apart from something else and is typically used in a positive way.

The other options have negative thoughts and feelings associated with them - you do not want to be lonely, in a deserted location, or one that is eerie.

Answer:

d- Distinctive

Step-by-step explanation:

Many words - especially nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs - have an emotional side. Though not part of the official dictionary definition, the emotions and associations connected to a word are known as its connotative meaning. Depending on how a word has been used over time, it may have a positive, negative or neutral connotation.

In this case, distinctive has a positive connotation; while lonely and Eerie have a negative connotation. Deserted has a neutral connotation.

You can tell when the connotation is positive, negative or neutral by the meaning of the word:

- distinctive: marking something as clearly different from others:

- Eerie: strange in a frightening and mysterious way

- lonely: (of someone) feeling sad because you are alone, or (of something) causing this feeling

- Deserted: having no people or things in it; empty:
