A Correct answer
Explanation

Imply means to suggest or indicate indirectly, without stating explicitly. Assert means to state clearly and confidently as a fact. These are opposites - one is indirect suggestion, the other is direct statement. Connote (C) is similar to imply. Assume (D) is the reception, not the action.
