The answer is "A" because it uses the word "cheap" which is pretty much less than the following: "popular price", "reasonable price", and "affordable".

A. Trevor was able to purchase a cheap computer for school.

The word for low price that has a negative connotation is "cheap." Beyond meaning low cost, the word "cheap," here, has the connotation of being low quality. When you are writing, it is always best to be aware of words’ meanings as well as their connotations because words can provide a tone and meaning beyond face value.
