Answer: C) "How public, like a frog."

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." From the given options, the line from "I'm Nobody" that contains an example of a simile, is the corresponding to option C, because it is comparing something very public to a frog using the word "like."
