This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:

Which phrase has the most negative connotation?

A. Drowned and buried

B. Rich flora

C. Plunge pools

D. Kind of marvels

Answer:

The phrase that has the most negative connotation is:

A. Drowned and buried

Explanation:

Connotation refers to the idea or the feeling evoked by the use of a word or phrase. Positive connotation makes us feel good. Negative connotation will do the opposite.

Words may have more than one connotation, which will depend on the context. However, it is easy to agree that the words "drowned" and "buried" will most of the time carry a negative feeling with them. They both evoke the idea of death and, consequently, the feeling of sadness and mourning. In the passage we are analyzing here, that is precisely what they do when they describe how dams can destroy nature.
