Answer:

A) Malapropism

Explanation:

A malapropism is the use of an incorrect word in the place of a correct word with a similar sound. This usually results in comical or nonsensical statements. Malapropisms can happen by mistake in natural speech, but they are also common as jokes and humorous utterances in comedy and literature. The name comes from the character of Mrs. Malaprop, from Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play <em>The Rivals</em>.
