The correct answer is C. Word consciousness

Step-by-step explanation:

In language, "word consciousness" refers to the ability to know the meaning of the words in terms of denotative meaning (dictionary meaning) but also their connotation (emotional effects) as well as knowing the way words are used to create phrases, sentences, etc. Because of this, word awareness is essential for understanding and using the language more precisely as well as using or understanding new words. According to this, the term that describes a general awareness of words, their meanings, and emotional effects is word consciousness.
