A.
flashback

B.
oxymoron

C.
euphemism

D.
metaphor

Respuesta :

D.  metaphor

They are comparing two things without using like or as and it is definitely not C. because they are not trying to be polite about it and they aren't having a flashback either. Oxymoron is used to which two opposite ideas are joined to create an effect.
