Below are the choices:

A) Metaphor

B) Imagery

C) Simile

D) Anaphora

"C" can be ruled out because the phrase does not include "like" or "as". "D" can be ruled out because there is no repetition. Since I am not familiar with the work, without more context I don't know if an actual, physical crown is involved. If there is one, the answer is "B". Otherwise it is "A".
