Answer: A connotative meaning is based on the emotions associated with a word, while a denotative meaning is based on a specific dictionary meaning.

Explanation:

Connotation refers to a variety of emotions, either positive or negative, that a particular word conveys.
Denotation, on the other hand, is a precise definition of a word which is found in a dictionary.
For instance, word 'home' has a meaning - a place where one lives, while it has a connotation of a place of warmth and comfort. The correct answer, therefore, is the last option.
