Answer:

C). Quirky.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Connotation is defined as the suggested or implied meaning of a word. Such meaning is different from the literal meaning of the word and invokes a specific emotional or cultural connection through it.

As per the question, the word 'weird' connotes 'quirky' in the given paragraph as the speaker suggests that he does not possess 'unexpected or peculiar traits' which conveys a negative emotional association. Thus, he uses the word 'unusual' to connote the positive traits of her personality and hence, option C is the correct answer.
