The pharse "sword-feast" is a kenning. Option C is correct.

A kenning is a type of circumlocution, in the form of a compound that utilizes figurative language instead of a more concrete single-word noun.

Kenning generally consists  of two words, and are often hyphenated.

In other words, a kenning is a concise compound or figurative phrase which replaces a common noun.
