D) rhetorical question

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in which a question is asked but no answer is expected. Instead, the purpose of asking a question is to make a point and encourage the listener to think about it. In this case, the author does not ask "ain't I a woman?" because she is actually confused about her identity. Instead, she wants the audience to think about the fact that she is obviously a woman, and therefore, should be thought of as one by everyone, and awarded the necessary respect and consideration.
