Answer:

D). "Every heart stopped beating, every breath was held, every eye was fixed immovably upon that man."

Step-by-step explanation:

Anaphora is characterized as the literary device that involves the repetition of a sequence of words or a phrase at the beginning of clauses, verses, or sentences to provide emphasis. Among the given options, the last option i.e. 'Every...man' most aptly exemplifies the use of anaphora as it involves the repetition of the word 'every' at the beginning of each clause and highlights the idea more effectively. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
