Answer:

A. They drove up to their cottage in the mountains to get away for the weekend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denotation, also referred to as denotative meaning and literal sense, is the use of words in their own sense, common, habitual, precise. The denotative language is basically informative, that is, it does not produce emotion to the reader. Based on this, we can conclude that the word "drove" is the one that presents a denotation because that word provides a literal sense of what the subject of the sentence did or was doing.
