B. Balance

In the sentence, as the shade increases the rays decrease. This shows a balance between the light and the darkness as they equally come and go. It is also written in a balanced form using the same grammatical structure to show the sides. The woman's hair is not a connotation. Point of view is the eyes through which the story is told, and this does not add anything to that. A paradox is a contradictory statement similar to an oxymoron but longer.
