The words from Barry Lopez's quote about personal essays that are examples of Oxymorons is B) hard pleasure.

As it's known an Oxymoron is a figure of speech which contains words that seem to contradict each other; with the purpose of adding a dramatic effect, adding flavor to speech or just creating a humorous effect.

That's why it's right to state that option B is a true example of this kind of figure speech.
