The answer to this is D. Two contradicting words that are put together to form a figure of speech is called an Oxymoron. The word comes from Greek words oksus (meaning pointed) and moros (meaning dull or stupid). Oxymoron can be paradoxical or visual and physical. Paradoxical Oxymoron contradicts itself (example: “deafening silence”) while Visual and Physical Oxymoron can take the place of the noun or adjective in order to describe vividly to the reader (example: “plastic glass for drinking”).
