Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Connotation
1. A connotation is a cultural or emotional association a word carries.
2. It is in addition to the explicit, literal meaning.
3. The literal meaning is the denotation.
4. So associations beyond the dictionary sense are connotation.
**Why not the others:** Denotation is the literal meaning, a synonym is a word with similar meaning, and a prefix is an affix at the start of a word.
