The answer is a simile because it uses "like"
A personification is making an object or animal act and look like they are human. Example: She heard the last piece of cake calling her name. This is personification because cake doesn't talk like humans can.
An oxymoron is using two words to describe something that mean the opposite. It is kind of like irony.
Example: A fast turtle. This is an oxymoron because turtles are not fast.
A synecdoche is a part used to signify the whole. Example: Check out my new wheels. Wheels is a synecdoche because it is referring to a car.
A simile compares two things using like or as. Example: She is as innocent as an angel. This is a simile because it uses as to compare something.

Answer:

B. “the charges were laughable” (Paragraph 20)

Explanation:

Thes question refers to the article "A Child Of Slavery Who Thought A Generation" which tells the story of Anna Cooper.

She was, amongst other things, a principal and a teacher in first public high school for black students. Her work was amazing and very inspirational, which obviously bothered some people which led to a scandal ginned up against her.

The word "ginned up" means that something was started, agitated, increased or generated in a dubious manner and with dishonest purpose. This means that accusations were made only to throw dirt on her, without any factual evidence.

The sentence that best supports this is "the charges were laughable".

Although many prominent people stood in her defence, Cooper had to resign her principal's post due to the scandal and public pressure.
