The answer is letter D. figurative language.

Explanation:

When authors employ figurative language, they are using words in a different manner so as to given them a non-literal meaning. Figurative language makes extravagant comparisons possible, and make the literary work more colorful and vivid. Several literary devices can be used to develop figurative language, some of the most common being metaphors, similes, hyperboles etc.

When the character Cassius says to Antony, "Your words, they rob the Hybla bees, And leave them honeyless," he does not mean it literally. As we know, it is impossible for words to rob anything from anyone, let alone honey from bees. By that, he actually means that Antony's words are sweet, as if they the bee's honey on them.
