The correct answer would be appositives. Noun, pronouns, or phrases that follow another noun to rename it are called appositives. An example of an appositive is: The insect, a cockroach, is crawling around the kitchen table. The appositive in this sentence is "a cockroach". This is a noun that renames the other noun "insect".
