Final answer:

The poet in Beowulf has used the literary technique of kenning, which is a type of figurative expression using metaphorical descriptions.


Explanation:

Kenning is the correct literary technique used in the underlined words from Beowulf. A kenning is a figurative expression that replaces a noun, often a compound noun, with a metaphorical description. In this case, 'wolf-of-the-waves' is a kenning for a ship.
