Answer:

D. It depicts the Vietnam War as a stone that heavily weighs on the speaker's conscience.

Explanation:

The sentence that best describes one effect of the poet's use of figurative language in the excerpt is option D which depicts the Vietnam War as a stone that heavily weighs on the speaker's conscience.
