What literary element is a pun an example of?

Symbolism
Figurative language
Point of view
Humor

The correct answer is: Humor

A pun is a humorous play on words that relies on the use of multiple meanings or similar-sounding words. While it may involve the use of figurative language, which is the use of words in an imaginative or non-literal way, it is not an example of symbolism, which is the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities. Additionally, puns are not related to point of view, which is the perspective from which a story is told.
