I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The author conveys the joy in this excerpt through the use of allusion. Allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. Heatwave is the allusion used. Hope this answers the question.

Answer:

A) an allusion

Explanation:

Allusion happens when you make a reference or quote to something or someone. In the case of the phrase shown in the above question, the author conveys joy through the allusion (ie reference) to the song "Heatwave". Allusion is a kind of intertext, where one text relates to another explicitly or implicitly. Thus it is permissible to mention facts, people, works of art, historical events, music, celebrities, already existing in other works.
