Explanation:

Satire is a literary device used to expose and criticize foolishness and corruption of an individual or a society by using humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule. It's not about making comparisons (A is simile - related), providing story - clues (B is foreshadowing - related), or mainly about angering to force action. It can subtly show an author's view on certain issues, which may imply bias or prejudice.

D. To give the audience an idea of the author's bias or prejudice
