Explanation:

Denotative meaning refers to the literal or dictionary definition of a word. In the context of "hot summer sun," the most literal and relevant definition is related to temperature. The other options (newest item or fad, extremely good looking, very fashionable) are figurative or slang usages of "hot" that do not fit the description of the sun.

high temperature
