The correct answer is B. Snow usually reminds me of Christmas.

Step-by-step explanation:

In language, the connotative meaning of any word refers to the associations, emotions, and ideas that are linked to a word and that emerge as a result of experiences or conditions of the context, especially the cultural context or the context in which a word appears. Additionally, the connotative meaning of a word differs from the denotative or dictionary meaning. This means, in the case of the word "snow" a connotative meaning are the ideas, associations or emotions related to the word rather than ideas related to its definition that is "precipitation of frozen water" and therefore, the example of connotative meaning is "Snow usually reminds me of Christmas", because this idea is related to the emotions and associations of the words that were formed through experiences, which is the main point in connotative meaning.
