The answer is a simile. This is because similes compare two things (these things here are his life and the dusty yards) by using like or as (specifically here as).

The other ones don't make sense: nothing is being over exaggerated (hyperbole), there are no repeating consonants (alliteration), and there are no human characteristics being given to inhuman subjects (personification).

Answer:

B. He doesn't think very highly of his writing ability.

Explanation:

In the given quote Hemingway refers to the most of his life work as to something rather average, with a little bit of good writings - which he says are there because of luck. Considering how great and famous writer he was and is, we can see that this quote is pure underestimating his own talent and being humble. So B is the correct answer.

In this quote we do no find anything that matches answer A. Answer C is totally opposite of what is said in the quote, egoistic so to say. Answer D does not refer to this quote it is not about what public thinks of him, but what he thinks of himself.
