Answer: C. Frost's use of metaphor to give the apple trees the qualities of grazing animals emphasizes that the wall is unnecessary.
Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. A metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind. In the given excerpt Frost uses a metaphor that compares the apple trees to grazing animals ("My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines"), this helps to emphasize that the wall is unnecessary.
