Answer:

D. Pun.

Explanation:

A pun is a play on words by using them in a different way. This literary device allows the writer to use a word in different forms by implying a different meaning.

A pun is used more often in a humorous way when a word is used to mean multiple things. This play on words allows the listener to feel funny yet still also gives a sense of correctness in what has been said.

For example, when someone says <em>"a happy life depends on a liver"</em>. So, liver here may mean the human liver, the organ, or simply someone who lives for every moment.  

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Svetach [21]
If the passage is this one :
The swineherd led him to the manor later
in rags like a foul beggar, old and broken,
propped on a stick. These tatters that he wore
hid him so well that none of us could know him
when he turned up, not even the older men.
We jeered at him, took potshots at him, cursed him.
Daylight and evening in his own great hall
<span>he bore it, patient as a stone.

It might be said that the similies represent an image of </span><span>battered but unruffled.
</span><span>this is connected to this person´s suffering but at the same time how it does not disturb him even if he is old. </span>
