Answer:

D. A comparison done by the reforming of words according to existing powers

Step-by-step explanation:

An analogy compares one thing or situation to another.

Metaphors and similes are types of analogies.

Example:

Life is like a roller coaster - it has lots of ups and downs.

The sentence compared a real-life situation to a very different thing. They are using an analogy to explain that life has lots of ups and downs.
