Answer:

The figure of speech in 'unforgiving minute' is transferred epithet.

Explanation:

An epithet refers to an adjective. An ‘adjective’ is a describing word that tells us more of a noun. A transferred ‘epithet’ is a ‘figure of speech’ in which a human emotion or trait is transferred from a human to a non-human object. In the given question minute is a noun.  

It is a non-living object. It can never have human emotions. Unforgiving on the other hand is a human trait. This human emotion is transferred to the minute. So unforgiving is the transferred epithet.
