Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
'Cunningly simple' combines contradictory terms, i.e., Oxymoron (II). 'Who is here so vile...' is a rhetorical question, i.e., Interrogation (IV). 'What a piece of work is man' is an Exclamation (I). 'Laughter holding her sides' gives human action to an abstract idea, i.e., Personification (III). So A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
