Correct answer: A
According to Roland Barthes' semiotic theory, communication involves three orders of signification. Denotation is the literal meaning of a sign. Connotation refers to cultural or emotional associations attached to that sign. Myth is the second-order system where connotations become naturalized as common sense. Credibility and attribution are not part of this specific framework.
