I believe the answer is: C. Allusion

Allusion refers to a literary device that is used to make indirect reference without actually mentioning it explicitly.

The reference that made through Allusion usually could only be understood by the readers if we read the previous part of the writing in order to get the context.

Why is it that Oskar Schindler, the German Industrialist, saved fewer Jews than Irena, the social worker, but initially received
Dvinal [7]

Answer and Explanation:

There are several reasons why Oscar Schindler receives more praise than Irena Sendler, one of these reasons is the erasure of great historical female figures due to the overvaluation of male figures. Another reason is that Oscar Schindler was part of the German business class, the center of Nazism and where the attack on Jews was supported by most of the population. It was unlikely that German citizens would take a stand against Nazism and the extermination of Jews, especially a German from Schindler's social class and who worked directly with Nazi production. Although Irena Sendler took as much risk as Schindler, she was Polish and a nurse, which made it easier for her to have humanist and empathetic positions towards Jews, and it was more common for Poles not to support Nazi ideas.

An excerpt in writing is a quoted passage taken from a longer work, such as a book, or poem, or an article.

Goryan [66]

The author suggests that terrorism will end because the activities have alienated people.

<h3>What is terrorism?</h3>

In its broadest meaning, terrorism refers to the use of force and terror to further an ideological cause. The phrase primarily refers to intentional acts of violence against noncombatants in either a peaceful or violent conflict in this context (mostly civilians and neutral military personnel). The terms "terrorist" and "terrorism" were initially used during the French Revolution in the late 18th century, but it wasn't until the Israeli-Palestinian, Basque, and Northern Ireland wars of the 1970s that they truly gained international prominence. The increase in  assaults that started in the 1980s was best represented by the September 11 attacks in the United States in 2001.
