    Answer: C) Paradox.

    Explanation: a paradox is a statement or proposition which, despite sound (or apparently sound) reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems logically unacceptable or self-contradictory. In the given line we can see an example of a paradox, because by saying that love gives naught and takes naught, the speaker seems to be giving contradictory statements.
