Answer:

B). Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife.

Explanation:

This is the way in which Pertelote, a hen, is compared to Hasdrubal's wife. In this passage, we learn that Pertelote "assailed the ear," which means that it produced a very strong sound that would bother most ears. We also learn that these noises are compared to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife when her husband was killed.
