The correct answer is "A".

Imagery is a literary technique which focuses on the use of figurative language in order to fully describe a situation or scenario. In this passage, the tries to describe how the feelings of both the kid and the bird when perched on the buffalo, despite being a potentially dangerous animal. Particularly who is more exposed to the buffalo than the bird.
