The correct answer is D. "thump, thump, thump"

Step-by-step explanation:

In writing, onomatopoeia is a type of literary device in which sounds are represented using words, for example, the sound a cat makes can be represented as "meow". Onomatopoeia is widely used in different writing genres and allow the reader to imagine a sound more precisely and vividly. Considering this, the one that is an example of onomatopoeia is "thump, thump, thump" because this is the only option in which words have been used to represent a sound that can be the sound of a drum, a repeated beat, a set of explosions, among others.
