In the sentence “Ryan’s face was an open book,” book has a connotative meaning. Option A is correct.

The connotative meaning of a word includes the, emotions, feelings, asociations and ideas that people may connect with that word.

On the other hand, a denotative meaning refers to the main meaning of a word, which does not include the feelings or ideas that people may connect with it.
