The answer is: d) synecdoche

Synechdoche is a figure of speech in which part of something is used to represent the whole, or vice versa.

In the line from the poem "She walks in Beauty," the author Lord Byron attributes the heart as a depiction of an entire person. Therefore, the woman's heart has feelings of innocent love.
