Correct answer: (D) Connotative meaning
Explanation

The subjective meaning of a word is its connotative meaning.

Connotation is the emotional or personal association a word stirs beyond its plain sense.

Denotative meaning is the literal, dictionary sense, which is objective and shared.

An indirect meaning is a vague label that does not name this subjective, associative sense.

An antonym is a word of opposite meaning, unrelated to the personal shade a word carries.

The word home, beyond a mere dwelling, may connote warmth and belonging.
