Plz an implied meaning of a word is a(n) allusion metaphor denotation connotation

Let’s go through our options:

An allusion is a casual reference. Not what we are looking for.

A metaphor is comparing something dramatically. Getting closer!

A denotation is basically a definition, that thing in your dictionary. This is really close, but not enough.

A connotation is all that is left, but to double check, we will do a search on Google:

“an idea or feeling that a word invokes”

With the literal definition to support our assumption, the answer is Connotation.
