After a thorough research, there exists the same question that has the following line and choices.

"I served them well/with my noble blade, as was only fitting. /Small pleasure they had in such a sword-feast/dark things in the sea that meant to eat me."

A. conflict
B. Kenning
C. Falling action
D. Resolution

The correct answer is letter B. Kenning. Kenning is a type of circumlocution. Its form is compounded and shows figurative language in substitute of a concrete single-word noun.
