A1 and 2 only
B2 and 3 only
C1 and 3 only
D3 and 4 only ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 3 and 4 only — The collection of objects a term applies to is its extension and its denotation, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The collection of objects a term applies to is its extension and its denotation, so that is the answer.
★Extension and denotation are two names for the same range of objects.
★So statements 3 and 4 both describe it correctly.
★Intension and connotation refer instead to the qualities a term implies.
★So statements 1 and 2 describe the opposite idea.
★So the answer is 3 and 4 only.
