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).

Read the excerpt from Sudanese Slit Drum.
Over [174]
This is interesting. It's a split between C and D for this, as it covers both almost equally. However, I would go with C, seeing as it all falls under the umbrella of "cultural significance", even when talking about what purpose the drum is being changed for.
