Answer:

D. Repetition

Explanation:

Repetition is a rhetorical device that repeats a word, a phrase or a sentence several times in order to add emphasis, unity, power or an artistic effect to an idea. In the excerpt, the lines "O Captain! My Captain!”? But O heart! heart! heart!" are a great example of repetition, more specifically it is an Epimone, which it's a type of repetition of a phrase or question aiming to emphasize or to dwell on a point.
