Answer:

B. Frugal

Step-by-step explanation:

Denotation refers to a common or literal meaning of a concept. What people usually understand when they hear a word.

On the other hand, connotation refers to a second meaning, that can be understood by the context,or the way the author wants to communicate something, usually different from it original meaning.
