The correct answer is C. The author’s proposal is actually extreme and violent, not gentle as the title says.
Satire, similar to irony, is achieved when you are trying to mock something or someone, usually by exaggerating and writing the opposite of what is expected.

You can clearly see how the title is satirical then.
It’s either paint or tool.
The Poet uses litotes as a literary technique in the sentence That [sword] was not useless to the warrior now from Beowulf.
Litotes is a technique that communicates in a positive message through a negative structure, we can see in the sentence the use of was not, but the general meaning is a positive one saying that the sword was in fact really useful.
The other options are not correct because those techniques make reference to sounds and metrics or use of a combination of words no the general meaning of a sentence.
