Answer: C) Allusion.

Explanation: allusion is a literary device that consists in making a brief reference to a person, an event (historical, political, cultural, etc), or a place. In the given quote from "An Ancient Gesture" we can see an example of an allusion to Penelope (the wife of Odysseus in "The Odyssey") who said that she would choose a husband when she finished weaving a burial shroud, but she kept weaving all day and undoing it by night.
