Answer:

D.) When a character, place, thing, or event in a literary work stands for a larger idea.

Explanation:

Symbolism is a figurative language that takes place when a character, place, thing, event or anything with a physical existence stands for a larger idea or meaning that is entirely different from the actual meaning of the form of that physical "thing" or living being.

One great example of symbolism can be found in the story “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway that focuses on the issue of whether doing an abortion or not In the story, for instance, the fields of grain and trees and The Ebro River represent fertility and fruitfulness: the unborn child the protagonist carries in her womb. And the “shadow of a cloud” symbolizes the abortion of the fetus.
