Not 100% sure, but in my opinion I would say B. Personification.

The correct answer would be option B: "Personification".

Personification is when human atributes or characteristics are applied to animal or non-living things. For example, in the poem, the author says that the hawk, "accused him" and that he "complained", both being actions that an animal (such as a hawk) cannot literally do.

In the poem, the lines shown do not rhyme phonetically or visually and do not compare one trait to another (emphasizing it) therefore, options A, C and D are incorrect.

Answer:

Because Malvolio is the cranky person that everybody hates so if they know that he is madly in love with Olivia, they will think is funny that a unhappy person will fall for a noble like Olivia.
