Answer: a. parallelism.

Parallelism refers to a rhetorical device in which several sentences, phrases or clauses that have a similar structure appear in a sequence. In this case, the sentences are the same ones except for the change of subject. Parallelism makes texts easier to read and process. It also enhances the rhythm of a text. Finally, parallelism makes a text more persuasive.
