Which dictionary entry is the best definition for the word key as it is used here?

we looked across the bay and saw the tropical key in the distance. it was sandy and had lots of vegetation, but was probably too small to live on.

a) key- (adj) important
b) key- (n) pitch or tone
c) key- (n) a small island
d) key- (v) to type or enter

C)key- (n) a small island.

Get rid of the obvious ones:

- Important

- pitch or tone

"We looked across the bay and saw the tropical key in the distance"

What they are looking at is an object and these are not.

Since this is an object it can be "to type or enter" since that is a verb.

They also address this location as sandy and lots of vegetation (plants)

which islands have.

Hope this helps!
