B. allusion

The sentence references the well-known character Hermione Granger from Harry Potter, which is an indirect reference to another work — the definition of an allusion. It’s not personification (no nonhuman is given human traits), foreshadowing (no hint of future events), or an idiom (no fixed nonliteral expression).
