What is symbolism?

A figure of speech.

An object or action that stands for something else.

Symbolism is a literary device in which an object or action is used to represent a different meaning or idea. While A, C, and D may also be used in literature, they do not specifically define the concept of symbolism. A may also refer to personification or hyperbole, C could be referring to puns or alliteration, and D could encompass descriptions that are not symbolic. B is the only option that accurately encapsulates the meaning of symbolism.
