The correct answer is EXTENDED METAPHOR.
Extended metaphor refers to a comparison between two things that are not alike, which continues throughout a series of sentences in a paragraph or in lines of poem. It is also called sustained metaphor and authors usually use it in order to create a clear comparison between two things.
