a. describing a sensory experience in terms that usually apply to a different sense
b. including a detail that does not match the others in a description
c. using sensory details to vividly create an experience in language

Explanation:

Synesthesia, in a literary context, refers to the rhetorical device where one sense is described using language associated with another sense (e.g., "a loud red" linking sound and sight). Option B refers to an inconsistent detail, option C is general sensory imagery, and option D is lexical borrowing, none of which match the definition of synesthesia.
