Answer:

A. Kenning

Step-by-step explanation:

Kenning is a poetic device used to refer metaphorically to a person or an object. This device is made up of two words. For example, " money-eater" can be used to refer to a person who is a spendrift. In the scenario given, the word " cordeless-communicator" is used probably to make reference to a mobile-phone. This is cordeless and is used to get in contact with other people. Communicator refers to a person, but, here, it refers to an object
