Answer:

C. ”When the rose in her cheeks appears”.

Step-by-step explanation:

A metaphor is comparing two things that are not similar but have something in common.

In this example, it’s comparing the girls blushing to a rose.

These are completely different things, but they both have something in common.

Both of them have the same color in common.
