The literary device used in this sentence is Personification.
Explanation:
It is because personification means to give a non living thing or word an adjective which is only used on human beings. Silence is not a living thing so it cannot invade the room nor can it come out of the night. So in my opinion the answer to this question is Personification.
I believe the correct answer is: B) Neighborhood Leaders Request an Inquiry About Pollution.
Option B seems to be the most neutral of the given choices and doesn't change the overall meaning of the title. Option A doesn't sound neutral and options C and D change the meaning of the headline.
