Answer: Idiom

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of figurative language in "My eyes left the bottle and looked at the man." is an idiom.

An idiom simply means a phrase that can't be easily deduced just by looking at the phrase or the words. For example, saying someone has a cold feet doesn't imply that such person's feet is cold but it means that he or she is anxious or nervous.
