<em>The type of figurative language represented by the use of the word Selma in the provided stanza is allusion.
</em>
<em>Allusion </em>is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance, in this particular case the 1965 civil rights march from Selma, Alabama, in which nonviolent protestors were attacked by police. Allusions are just passing comments about which the writer expects the reader to possess enough knowledge to noticeits importance in a text.
<em>The use of such figurative language affects the last line of this particular stanza by providung a description</em>. Even though the descriptions referred to persons or things in allusions are not fully detailed, its use enables writers or poets to simplify complex ideas and emotions.

Answer:
Following the paths of others
Making a point of rebellion
Spending time in nature
Taking many interesting walks
Explanation:
This is a poem about love that has been lost and he is sad. I am not sure which of your answers meet this definition of the poem, but he has many interesting walks in life. He just wishes that he could still have that love that is lost. The snow is a symbol for pain and suffering and his heart is aching. It is not just about nature and walking through it, but trying to follow that old path that he cannot follow any longer.
Look at context clues in your sources
You should add it all, just in fragments. For example (this is not relevant in any way, but:)
red capes, keep sun off skin.
Just keep it short and sweet, as long as you understand it who cares.
