Explanation:

Imagery is demonstrated as the literary device in which the author employs descriptive language to appeal to the senses of the readers. It allows the author to provide vivid descriptions through which the readers can visualize the idea and have a sensory experience in order to elicit the intended response.

In the given passage, the use of imagery('painted herself a present') picturizes a hopeful image that allows the readers to visualize that Kahlo is positive despite her poor physical condition due to the accident. The use of descriptive words like 'painted' 'corset' assists the readers to associate with her condition and understand that she is optimistic and courageous as she is not restrained despite multiple surgeries. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
