Answer:

The answer is C.- A Fishing rod

Step-by-step explanation:

Hazel wand as used in the passage is a metaphor, and by way of definition a metaphor is you directly referring to one thing by mentioning another object which have similar characteristic or some hidden similarities that are capable of expressing your idea in clear terms.

When you consider the characteristic of an Hazel wand and compare it to the fishing rod as used in the passage, you will discover that it is an example of a metaphor which expressed the writer's idea in a clear term.
