The correct option is D Apostrophe and Tautology
O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,
That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!
Apostrophe - The line starts with an invocation to the lifeless earth: “O, pardon me”
Tautology - ‘Meek’ and ‘gentle’ point towards the same idea. One of those words could have sufficed.
