The answer would be A) figurative language that uses several sentences or paragraphs to compare one thing to another
This being done in order to fully exploted a single metaphor through multiple links/train of thoughts. The length of extended metaphor usually more than 1 sentences and in rare casae it could even take 1 paragraph.
