Answer:

Pun

Explanation:

The kind of figurative language that has been employed in the sentence 'Her cat...mouse' would be:

C). Pun

  • 'Pun' is characterized as the figurative language in which the author employs a 'wordplay where similar definitions or sounds of two words or phrases or different definitions of the same word are deliberately confused.'
  • This use of words having similarity in sound yet distinction in meanings helps the author create a funny or rhetorical impact.
  • In the given sentence, the use of the word 'mouse' gives two meanings i.e. 'the rodent rat' and the 'input device of the computer' that creates confusion to develop that rhetorical impact.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
