According to early Wittgenstein a name denotes :
Answer: D
For the early Wittgenstein, a name denotes a simple.
In the Tractatus, names are the simple signs of a fully analysed proposition, and 'the name means the object' (3.203). The objects named are simple (2.02): they have no parts, and they form the substance of the world. A name stands for such a simple object.
A fact is what a whole proposition pictures, a combination of objects, not what a name denotes. A mental state is not the meaning of a name in the Tractatus, and the simple objects are not physical objects in the ordinary sense, which are complex and further analysable.
