Answer: A) Command.

Explanation: the denotation of a word is the literal meaning, the definition that we can find in a dictionary, it is the contrary of connotation, which is the meaning given by the context of the word. In the given excerpt from "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley we have the word "injunction" italicized, the best definition of this word is "command" because the denotation of "Injunction" is an authoritative order or warning.
