A metaphor is a figure that describes an object or action in a way that is not literally true, but helps to create an idea of ​​something or make a comparison. A simile is used when a comparison is to be made, where a particular object or action is compared with something with the word "like" or "as", which in the case of a metaphor is not used.

The answer is: c.
