The stylistic element used in the passage is incongruity. It is a form of satire or humor. Incongruity is used in an unsuitable time. For example, If a man were in a court room and belched loudly while receiving his sentence, that would be a use of incongruity. Another example would be if at a royal wedding the groom's pants fell down in the middle of the ceremony.
It would be B I believe. It is the most logical sentence and it fits the tone.
D, because if you hear it so many times, it ends up become unoriginal and cliché.
The answer is B Just about plumb out of fuel
