Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

A metaphor designates identification of one thing with another with which is not literally identifiable. The comparison of "faces in the crowd" in a metro station with "petals on a wet, black bough" at first glance seems to have no relation. However, the underground image ressembles a beautiful view of nature for the speaker. This image might remind him of the flowers of a quiet and nice place in the country side. Accordingly, it is possible to be said that there is natural beauty in a city environment. A complex task when reading poetry is to make multiple associations to find meaning.
