The device that is employed in the following sentence from Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener" that is state in your question and the answer would be letter C. Allusion. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarifications
I believe the answer is: C. Allusion

Allusion refers to a literary device that is used to make indirect reference without actually mentioning it explicitly.
The reference that made through Allusion usually could only be understood by the readers if we read the previous part of the writing in order to get the context.
