I believe the answer would be D
It compares the hinges with something unfamiliar and scary.
Explanation:
A simile is a method for comparison of a thing with something different. It creates a realistic feeling to the situation, imagined or visualized distinctively.
Let us read the sentence from the story, as mentioned by the author.
"I pulled the heavy double doors open; the hinges squeaked like a platoon of lost ghosts."

The hinges, compared to a platoon of lost ghosts, give a scary feeling to the sentence.
