Explanation:

To determine the negative connotation of "loud" when describing a shirt, we analyze the options: "high in volume" is the denotative meaning (related to sound), "attention - getting" can be neutral or positive, while "visually shocking" implies the shirt is overly bold or garish in appearance, which has a negative connotation as it suggests the shirt is unappealingly striking.

Answer:

visually shocking
