Remark
No wonder you are confused!!
The problem is that you are probably given some background information in your notes that came with this problem. Without the notes, the best I can do is guess. Let's just list the choices we are given.
Discussion
A: This does not sound like it could be interpreted as any kind of irony. All he is doing is sitting and contemplating something else while he rubs his temples.
B: I don't think you can construe B as ironic unless the General is one of those people that is very careful how he dresses. The professor is very casual when you compare him to the General. I'm not sure it is irony however.
C: This answer sounds very possible. The speaker is contrasting a very serious sentence that he heard last night. The irony is that he was paying absently with dice when the revelation came. The contrast (dice and an important sentence revealed to him could be very ironic). The irony is that Barnhouse discovered his unique power of mind over matter when he threw 7 sevens in a row. The student/narrator also developed powers when paying with the dice.
D. This is just an usual event. It is not ironic, unless there is more to it than we know about just from reading it.
Answer:
I think the answer is D. That would make the most sense
Explanation:
The answer is actually E. Simile:Analogize
This is because the definition of simile is "....the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind [using like or as]" and the def of analogize is "make a comparison of (something) with something else to assist understanding."
like wise, personification and anthropomorphize have very similar definition. The other answers do not have definitions that are almost identical to each other unlike answer e.

One of the key effects (negatively) of social media is that is has heightened the concept or practice of comparison. Unfortunately, the basis of the comparison are mostly a façade as many people are quick to put up a fake appearance just to impress others and attract attention or following.
Social media is the name that has been given to channels via which people associate and communicate online or on the internet.
Thus, the practice of comparison and coveting fake lives being "led" by others is putting pressure on people to reach out for what is beyond their capacity.
Indirectly, this could be contributing to increased crime rates.
