The collection of all the objects to which a term may correctly be applied is called which of the following?

1.The intension of that term

2.The connotation of that term

3.The extension of that term

4.The denotation of that term

A1 and 2 only

B2 and 3 only

C1 and 3 only

D3 and 4 only ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) 3 and 4 only

Explanation

The collection of all objects a term correctly applies to is its extension and equivalently its denotation (Statements 3 and 4).

Extension and denotation both name the outward range of things a term picks out.

Intension and connotation, by contrast, name the attributes a term implies.

Since the question asks for the class of objects, the meaning-side notions do not apply.

Extension and denotation are two names for that same collection of objects.
