Answer:

b, The connotation of the word "summer" has always been positive for me.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "connote" means or signifies the words or phrases that are associated with any given word. It is not directly the literal meaning of the word.

In the given sentences, the right use of the word "connotation" is sentence (b) where "summer" is connoted for "positive" things or ideas. The sentence means that for the speaker, summer always implies or gives her positive vibes. But that doesn't mean summer literally is positive. it is just a connotation.
