What is this an example of? 2

Option D

Explanation:

Lets use the process of elimination to find the answer to this question. It wouldn't be option C because a simile is comparing two things using the words like or as, it wouldn't be option E because personification is something nonhuman possessing humanly qualities. It wouldn't be option B because paradox is a statement that seems untrue but with research and investigation it can be proven true, it wouldn't be option A because oxymoron is a type of figurative language that basically contradicts other terms, leaving option D therefore it is your answer.

Hope this helps.
