Answer:

The correct answer is B. Simile.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simile is a word figure, which is generated by the approach or contrastive comparison of two objects or images in order to increase the clarity and effectiveness of a thought. Like the metaphor, the simile is based on the similarity that is given in a common third; In contrast to the metaphor, the comparison is based on a direct equation of its relation. Frequent comparisons in literature and poetry are those of animals and people, of natural objects and moral objects, of persons and moral objects, of natural objects and art objects, etc.
