Detailed Solution

A figure of speech is an intentional deviation from ordinary language, or a word or phrase with a meaning distinct from its literal definition. Hooting imitates the sound of an owl, so onomatopoeia is correct. The other options are incorrect because the sentence contains no other figure of speech.
