The correct answer is D. She lived in a sea of grief

Step-by-step explanation:

Metaphor is one of the most common figures of speech, this focuses on describing an idea or concept by using another, in this way in metaphor the author uses comparison or similarities between two ideas, objects, etc. for aesthetic purposes. The sentence "She lived in a sea of grief" is an example of metaphor because in this, the author uses the words "lived in a sea of grief" to express the extreme sadness of a woman, and therefore the author describes a specific feeling by using a figurative idea as "sadness" and "sea of grief" are similar.
