D. Repetition

Explanation:

Repetition is a literary device that repeats the same words or phrases a few times to make an emphasis on an idea. Martin Luther King Junior uses this device in "I Have a Dream" speech. The repetition serves here as emphasis, it helps the audience comprehend his main idea and the purpose of his speech.

He repeated many times the phrase "I have a dream" as he develops an idea of what his dream is. It became a type of anthem, a picture of a country in which there are unity and equality among races.

'I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.'

'I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.'

'I have a dream today!'
