Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is Synecdoche.

Explanation
Option 1: Rhetorical question

A rhetorical question is a question asked to make a point rather than to solicit an answer. The sentence provided does not contain a question.

Option 2: Metonymy

Metonymy is a figure of speech in which one word or phrase is substituted with another that is closely related. The sentence does not use a related term to stand in for another concept.

Option 3: Synecdoche

Synecdoche is a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa. In the sentence, "all hands on deck" uses "hands" (a part of people) to represent the whole people, making it an example of synecdoche.

Option 4: Zeugma

Zeugma is a figure of speech in which a word applies to multiple parts of the sentence. The sentence does not contain a word that applies to multiple parts in this way.
