it is onomatopoeia because it is like BANG! and it doesn't matter if its a natural sound or not, it still gives a taste of what the sound is :)

The correct answer is C. Onomatopoeia

Step-by-step explanation:

In writing, the word "onomatopoeia" refers to the words or combination of letters that represent or imitate a natural or not natural sounds and although onomatopoeias cannot represent identically a sound in most cases they closely to approximates to sound. Examples of this include the use of "meow" to represent the sound cats produce which is a natural sound or the use the words "tic-tac" to represent the sound of clocks. Additionally, this is used as a stylistic device that allows the reader to imagine a sound. Therefore, it is onomatopoeias the one that refers to the use of words that approximate natural sounds.
