Answer: C) Simile.

Step-by-step 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 passage we can see an example of a simile in the phrase "giant rocks with razor edges crouch like a sea monster with wide-open jaws" it compares the rocks too a see monster with wide-open jaws.
