The correct answer is **diction**.
Diction refers to the choice of words and style of expression that an author uses, which is often influenced by their purpose and the audience they are addressing. Different audiences may require different levels of formality, vocabulary complexity, and emotional tone.
Denotation refers to the literal meaning of a word; connotation refers to the emotional or cultural associations that a word carries; and etymology is the study of the origin of words, none of which are directly dependent on an author's purpose and audience in the same way that diction is.
