Answer:

D. allusion

Step-by-step explanation:

"A Good Man Is Hard to Find" is a story by Flannery O'Connor which tells about a family who had a car accident and ended up in a woods, where they encountered three criminals broken from the prison. The leader of this gang-of-three is Misfit, a Jesus contemplating criminal.

As the Misfit's car approaches the misfortunate family, the readers get introduced to his hearse-like vehicle.

Since hearse is a car used to transport the dead in a coffin, appearence of such car, driven by Misfit is a reference to death and a hint about the family's faith in the end of the story.
