The correct answer is:
**a self-contradictory statement or situation that might express a hidden truth or deeper meaning.**
**Explanation:** A paradox typically involves contradictory elements that, when considered together, reveal a deeper or more complex truth. It challenges conventional perceptions and encourages deeper thinking about the underlying ideas or themes being presented. The other options describe different literary techniques or concepts but do not accurately define a paradox.
