Answer:

B. I will always look to you, as you stand beside me.

Step-by-step explanation:

A metaphor is defined as a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable (Oxford dictionary). Hence, metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in ways that may not be literally true or sensible, but points to an important idea that the speaker wishes to communicate.

The expression 'I will always look to you, as you stand beside me.' is a metaphor because God does not literally stand beside the speaker. The speaker uses this metaphor to portray God's comfort in times of sorrow and distress.
