Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Similies, unlike metaphors, use the terms "like" or "as" to compare two things. The answer C compares the wind and a lion with the word "like," so it is a similie.

Hope this helps!!!! ^-^

C is a simile.

Explanation: Similes have either “like” or “as” in them, used to compare two things. As C is te only one with “like” in it, it is the simile.
