The correct answer is **A. suggesting a positive or negative meaning of a word apart from its dictionary meaning**.
However, option B also captures a similar essence, as connotation often involves associations and implied meanings that go beyond the literal definition of a word. So both A and B could be seen as relevant, but A is the most precise choice for the definition of "connotative."
