Answer:

Simile

Step-by-step explanation:

They use "as" which means that it would be a simile. They are comparing the sea to a plate-glass window, they are trying to express how calm and flat the sea was. Its not a metaphor because it uses "as", metaphor is when you say something is another thing.
