To refute something means to prove that something is not true, wrong, incorrect. So the answer would be none of those... I would choose B, it's close in meaning.

Answer: I. “The fog comes/on little cat feet” and III. “On silent haunches/and then moves on."
Explanation: When writing a text or a story, the use of figurative language is a tool that helps the author to create a mental image on the reader. Some examples of figurative language are metaphors, similes, hyperboles, personification, allusions, analogies, etc. In the given sentences the ones that best exemplifies the use of figurative language are “The fog comes/on little cat feet” (it is a metaphor that compares the fog with cat feet) and “On silent haunches/and then moves on" (which is also a metaphor).
A. Short words and hard consonants create a sense of angry uncertainty.
The repetition of the phrase causes the reader to consider the rhetorical question in the context of the text.
