Answer:

Answer is D) The cyclops effort to move the stone is compared to a simple task, showing his strength.

Step-by-step explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech, that allows to compare explicitely two things that are very different from each other. It differs from other figures of speech like the methaphor (that can also be used to compare things) because the simile actually explicitley lays the comparation, a good way to notice it is the word "as". In this excert is clear they are comparing the cyclops moving the stone to placing a cap on a quiver (arrow holder of sorts) showing he is really strong.
