Answer:
(b)Transferred Epithet
Explanation:
Transferred epithet is when an adjective usually used to describe one thing is transferred to another.An epithet is a word or phrase which describes the main quality of someone or something.
For example: 'a happy person'.
Epithets are usually adjectives like 'happy' that describe a noun like 'person'.
Transferred epithet is when this adjective is transferred to a different noun like 'Happy birthday'.
Examples
'The builders were working at a dizzy height.'
Heights can't literally be dizzy, they have no feelings. The transferred epithet intensifies the height. How high up would you need to be to feel dizzy?
The transferred epithet is also designated as hypallage. This is a Greek word that means 'interchange'
