C. tone
Imagery and repetition are techniques that contribute to the tone of a piece of writing. The tone reflects the author's attitude or emotional stance toward the subject or audience, and both imagery (descriptive language that appeals to the senses) and repetition (repeating words or phrases for emphasis or effect) help create and reinforce that tone.
