Answer:

D. Imagery

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses a vivid and descriptive language that appeals to any of our senses, be it sight, hearing, smell, taste or touch. This excerpt uses this device as its language is descriptive enough to evoke pictures or ideas in our minds that appeal to our senses of sight (As in the line "We walked through the flaring streets, jostled by drunken men") and hearing (As in "amid the curses of labourers, the shrill litanies of shop-boys" and "the nasal chanting of street-singers").
