Answer: A) Extended metaphor.

Step-by-step explanation: a metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind, when the metaphor continues throughout several phrases, it is called and extended metaphor. The given poem is an example of an extended metaphor because it is comparing fame to a bee in a direct way (without using the words "like" or "as") and it continues to make the comparison by listing the things that they have in common (a song, a sting and a wing).
