figurative
connotative
denotative
dictionary

Explanation:

Connotative meaning refers to the emotional or cultural - associated meaning of a word, beyond its literal dictionary definition. When Brutus uses "threat" to describe Mark Antony and it implies his low opinion, it's the connotative meaning at play. Figurative meaning involves figures of speech like metaphors or similes. Denotative and dictionary meanings are the literal, straightforward definitions.

Answer:

B. connotative
