Which of the following is an example of metaphor?

O A. Each blade of grass was a tiny bayonet piercing our bare feet from
below as we tried to walk across the lawn.
O B. Her story was as interesting as it was unbelievable; nobody liked
to interrupt Clara's anecdotes.
O C. Like doubting Thomas, he simply refused to believe Bella had
returned until he could see her in person.
O D. The long, thick leaves of the many trees hung limp and sopping
with the recent monsoon.
