The correct answer is C. Play on words

Explanation:

Puns are a type of wordplay based mainly on words that have multiple meanings (homographic), words that sound similar but have a different meaning (homophonic) and words with similar meanings (metonymy), puns are mainly used for humor and as a poetic device in literature. This includes William Shakespeare wide use of puns in his plays as it is considered he used around 3000 puns in them.
