Explanation:

To determine the connotation of "sacrifice", we analyze each option:

• Option a: Viewing sacrifice as negative (just "going without") ignores its honorable aspect of giving for others, so this is incorrect.
• Option b: Sacrifice often carries a positive connotation as it involves selflessly giving something of oneself for others, which is honorable. This aligns with the typical understanding of sacrifice.
• Option c: "Sacrifice" is emotionally charged (either positive or negative, but more often positive in the context of self - giving), so it is not neutral.

Answer:

b. Positive, because it has honor, to give something of yourself for others.
