Lettre D. Metaphor would be correct.

A metaphor occurs when someone substitute a word's usual meaning by another, applied only through implied comparison, with the intention of giving a somewhat poetic tone to the message.

Although it's not clear by the excerpt provided what meaning the author actually meant to imply for 'babes of the sea', it is clear that 'babes' in this expression do not carry its orginal meaning ('child'; 'girl').

Identify the type of figurative language used by John F. Kennedy in his famous moon speech. "The greater our knowledge increases
nadya68 [22]

     The figurative language used in the excerpt "The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds" is the <u>paradox</u>.  

  The paradox connects in the same situation two opposite things in a construct phrase that together acquires  sense: although it seems more logical that when knowledge increases, ignorance reduces or fades away, the meaning of this sentence is that the more we know, the more we discover that yet we have much to learn; Then, the connection of the increasing knowledge with the unfolding ignorance makes sense.
