Answer:

D). Figurative language.

Explanation:

An analogy is a type of figurative language that offers a comparison between two resembling or equivalent situations, people, or objects, as the basis to clarify the explanation or meaning more effectively. It compares an obscure thing to a familiar word in order to clarify or explain the meaning.

Metaphors and Similes are the most common forms of an analogy. Analogy demonstrates a figurative language that connects an obscure(new idea) with the ordinary or common idea that makes it easier for the readers to affiliate the meaning to that word in a familiar context. For example comparison of 'blind eyes' with 'meteor' in the phrase, 'Blind eyes could blaze like meteors'. Thus, option D supplies the correct answer.
