Answer 2

D. Onomatopoeia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Onomatopoeia is the formation of words that are formed based on the sounds they make. Their existence and source depends on their sounds. Basically, they mimic the sounds they make, thereby making the vocal imitations into words that denote that sound.

Some examples of onomatopoeia are "boom", "hiss", "clank", "buzz", "honk', "meow", "howl" etc. These are the sounds made by the things or objects and they also became the identifying words of these sounds.
