It's not any kind of comparison. Disaster is not compared to either man or wife or both. That makes A and B incorrect. 

The problem is that both C and D have possibilities. 

Discussion Hyperbole
Usually Hyperbole is an exaggeration used to suggest a humorous condition. We would not take the exact meaning seriously but we might take what the hyperbola is suggesting seriously.

Your smile is worth a million dollars to me.

There once was an ad for Camel's cigarettes that said "I'd walk a mile for a camel." People found the double meaning (cigarette and 4 legged animal) catchy. They also responded to the idea of walking a mile for a camel (either one). The point is, would you really walk a mile for either one? It's exaggerated.

Personification
These are attributes given to things or animals other than other inanimate things. In your case, your example swallows up man and wife together is a personification because whatever doing the swallowing, normally can't do it.

From book I am Malala.
ycow [4]

Answer:

Because he wants to keep people under his rule and within the ideology he wants to impose.

Explanation:

Radio Mullah is an Islamic extremist, cited many times in the book "I am Malala" as one of the main harbingers of Taliban rule in Afghanistan. Malala claims that Radio Mullah had a radio show, where he presented highly conservative and extremist, unscientific, oppressive and incorrect concepts. He was strongly against education, especially for women, and was even capable of bombing schools and killing people who took a stand against him.

He knew that fighting education was the main weapon for him to be able to control the population and make everyone follow their will, because the lack of education made people believe in everything they heard and did not have the ability to question and opine against wrong things. As such, Radio Mullah knew that a population without eucation was easily manipulated and that was his goal.

"I am Malala" is the book that tells the story of Malala, the Muslim girl who fought the Taliban for the right to study.
