C. Characterization

Explanation:

Characterization is a literary device used to develop fictional characters in a story, that is to say, to reveal a character's physical appearance, personality, interests, or motifs. The excerpt, which it's taken from The Cask of Amontillado story by Alla Poe, is an example of characterization because it gives us information about a character's personality and reputation and helps us form our impression of Fortunato.
