    The answer is A. Anaphora.

    Explanation:

    In literature anaphora represents repetition of the same words in adjacent verses (or sentences) to intensify the effect of the message.

    As a figure of speech irony is basically the outcome that is not expected. Based on our experience we expect one thing to happen, but in reality something completely opposite occurs.

    As its name suggests conflict is an ongoing struggle between usually two completely different entities (good guy vs. bad guy, happiness vs. sadness, depression vs. joy).

    Metonymy is a literary device where an object is being presented by its part (or vice versa). E. g. Canada won the hockey match. (not Canada itself, but it's national hockey team)
