Solution

The literary technique of Ernest Hemingway is often likened to an iceberg because of his minimalist and suggestive style. This is often referred to as the "Iceberg Theory," where Hemingway would only provide the reader with a surface-level understanding or the "tip of the iceberg," and the deeper, more complex meanings are hidden beneath the surface. This style is reflected in his direct and concise prose, which leaves much to the reader's interpretation. Therefore, the answer to your question is d. minimalist and suggestive.
