The correct answer is C. Figurative language

Explanation:

In language, words can be used according to their literal or denotative meaning which refers to the meaning of the dictionary or the meaning agreed by the speakers of a language or used according to their non-literal meaning which is called figurative language. Figurative language is about relating words to other meanings different to their literal or denotative meaning, this is the case of most figures of speech including simile, personification, allusion, symbolism, alliteration, and metaphor in which words are linked to non-conventional meanings to create abstract and more complex meanings that go beyond the literal meaning of words. Considering this, it can be concluded the use of words outside their usual or literal meaning is called figurative language.

Excerpt from Marsupials
Vesnalui [34]

B) escape from their enemies by jumping away

Escape is spelled correctly in the excerpt. Escape does not have an x. This means option A is wrong and B is correct. C is also wrong because of the spelling of escape and also because it uses the wrong there. In the sentence, their is a possessive adjective. It shows that enemies "belong" to the monkeys since they are the enemies of the monkeys. There means a place, as in over there. They're is a contraction meaning they are. Option D is wrong because of the spelling of escape and the apostrophe in enemie's. An apostrophe is used for contractions or to show ownership. The enemies do not own anything and it is not part of a contraction.
