Solution
The correct option is C apostrophe
In poetry, an apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the poet addresses an absent person, an abstract idea, or a thing. Option C Apostrophe is correct as grave and death are addressed as if they are a person. The other options are wrong as litotes, alliteration, and transferred epithet means an understatement not to be taken literally, a series of words that use the same consonant and a word which modifies a noun other than a person or a thing it actually describes,respectively.
