An “implication” is similar to an insinuation, so "implication" is the correct answer. With “charge,” the nearest meaning to "insinuation" is that it a "charge" can mean an accusation, but even then it is not close enough to "insinuation" to complete the analogy because “charge” is a direct accusation, whereas an “insinuation” is more of a suggestion. “Severance” is closer to incision to make a cut into something. You may have mistaken “insinuation” for sinew which is a word used to refer to muscles and tendons.
