'His nose is as long as Pinocchio's' can be both an allusion and a simile.

An allusion is when a phrase gives an indirect reference to something.

From the given phrase, a reference to the story and image of Pinocchio is given.

A simile is when there is a comparison being made.

The given phrase compares both the person's nose and Pinocchio's nose.

Hence the right option would be (d) both choices 1 and 3 are correct.

Hope it helps. :)
