Explanation:

Correct Answer is (a).Connotation refers to an idea or feeling which a word invokes for a person in addition to its literal meaning. Some synonyms - overtone, undertone, undercurrent, implication etc.
Here, the statement conveys that the meaning of autonomy that was popular after independence (as being at a distance from the state) had been born during the anti- colonial struggle.
The original phrase is incorrect as only one meaning has been listed and the correct form would be connotation. Similarly, connotation/meaning has to be of something and not in.
II is incorrect due to usage of incorrect preposition with as explained above.
III is incorrect due to use of autonomous (adjective) instead of autonomy.
I is absolutely correct and conveys the correct meaning.
Hence, option A is correct.
