The correct answer should be C. The smell of bacon and eggs was my alarm clock on cold mornings.

To help you in the future, just remember that figurative language is essentially just a statement that isn't literal. In A and B, both of those things actually happened. However, for C, bacon and eggs didn't start ringing an alarm to wake them up.
