Hi there,
Your answer is B.


The meaning of denotation is The main meaning of the word based on a accurate dictionary.
For example, The word "piece of cake" In slang means something easy. But the Formal word from the dictionary would mean A literal piece of cake.
So thats the meaning of Denotation
Hope this has helped :)
