d. drone

Explanation:

In connotative language, meaning goes beyond its denotation, since the word sends to assorted meanings. The meaning leads to several other associative ideas, virtual, suggested only, and it all depends on the context.

Positive connotation occurs when the meaning of the word is pleasant, leading to good feelings. It also depends a lot on the context in which it is inserted. The same word can have a positive connotation for some, but negative for others.

Since the positive connotation should bring a good feeling to the reader, we can conclude that the word "drone" should be replaced by a word that generates pleasant feelings. The word "drone" causes a feeling of something bad and annoying and should be replaced by a nicer word like "singing" and "chanting".
