Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

An oxymoron is a phrase that seems to contradict itself. The most common example of this is "jumbo shrimp", with jumbo meaning really big and shrimp meaning something really small.

In this case, "*** saint" will be the oxymoron because *** means going to (lets just say ) "H E double hockey sticks" and saint is something heavenly.
