  • A Climax
  • B Personification
  • C Metonymy
  • D Synecdoche
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Synecdoche is a figure of speech in which a part of something is used to represent the whole, or vice versa. This is because the term "wheels" is used to represent the entire vehicle. The wheels are a part of the car, and by using "wheels," the speaker is referring to the broader experience of driving and spending time in a car.
