If the underlined portion of the stanza is where hippos grunt, then it is an example of the sound device known as onomatopoeia.
Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech in which sounds coming from nature are imitated. So, the verb grunt evokes some animal sounds that can be heard in nature.

Answer:

A. Onomatopoeia

Explanation:

If the underlined portion of the stanza is where hippos grunt, then it is an example of the sound device known as onomatopoeia.  Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech in which sounds coming from nature are imitated (ex. POP! BANG! WOOSH!). So, the verb 'grunt' evokes some animal sounds that can be heard in nature.

Good luck!!
