Correct answer: (A) 1, 2, 3 and 4
Explanation
All four statements are correct, denotation is the sum of objects a term applies to, denotation equals extension, connoting suggests the qualities of objects, and connotation equals intension (Statements 1, 2, 3 and 4).
A term's denotation or extension is the class of things it names.
A term's connotation or intension is the set of attributes it implies.
Extension is thus the outward reach of a term, intension its inner meaning.
