Answer:

Option b is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The connotative meaning is a word's implied or secondary meaning, in addition to its literal meaning.

Connotative meaning gives an idea or a feel that invokes for a person other than literal context of the word.

Connotation tells us weather the word used is in positive context or the negative one. For example, the words childish and youthful have same denotations but connotative meaning of childish is negative while youthful lies in positive context.

i hope it will help you.
