Explanation:

• Irony is about an outcome contrary to expectation. The sentence doesn't show this.
• Euphony uses pleasant - sounding words. Words like "dappled", "shined", "fluttering", "dancing", "warm" create a pleasant auditory and visual image.
• Cacophony uses jarring words. The sentence has no harsh or unpleasant - sounding words. So, the rhetorical device is euphony.

B. euphony
