Answer: A) Simile.

Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in making a comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, this comparison is made using the words "like" and "as." In the given sentence we can see a clear example of a simile that compares the way the snowboarder fell to a rag doll, using the word "like" to make the comparison. So the correct answer is option A.
