Answer:

A. eponym

Explanation:

An eponym is a person, place or thing after which something is named. In this case, an eponym is being used in the case of "Houdini." The term alludes to Harry Houdini, a Hungarian-born American magician and stunt performer who was noted for his escape acts. The implication here is that Tony is similarly very good at escaping situations without anyone noticing.
