Dear Student,

The correct answer is 'apostrophe'

Apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the speaker addresses
someone who cannot respond This is because the person being spoken
to is either inanimate or dead Here, the speaker is speaking to
stones Stones are inanimate objects They cannot respond to the
speaker
