Answer: 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." The figure of speech represented in the given example is a simile, because in the sentence the speaker uses the word "as" to compare himself with a cloud. So the correct answer is the last option.
