oxymoron

Answer 2

The answer is: D.oxymoron.

The oxymoron  is a combination of contradictory or incongruous words.

In this example, deafening silence.

Deafening is a noise so loud as to make it impossible to hear anything else.

Silence is oposite of deafening, complete absence of sound.

Other examples are: big baby, original copy, living dead, sweet sorrow, soft rock, pretty ugly.
