The correct answer is A. “Tree; a large woody plant that survives and continues to grow year after year”
Explanation:
In language, the denotative meaning of a word is the literal meaning of it or the meaning that can be found in a dictionary. This means the literal meaning is the meaning that has been agreed about a word and does not depend on personal perspectives. This differs from the connotative meaning that refers to the ideas, feelings, thoughts people have about a word depending on their culture, personal experiences, among others. In the case of the word "tree", the denotative meaning of it is a type of plant that is mainly large and that has woody branches and trunk and therefore the one that is an example of denotative meaning is “Tree; a large woody plant that survives and continues to grow year after year”.
