I believe the correct answer is <u><em>D) Simile.</em></u>
Explanation:
A simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more vivid, for example, in this sentence from <u><em>The Truth About Diaries by Marie Devers</em></u>, she compares her diary to <em>a novel from the store.</em> Obviously, her diary is not a novel from the library, so in this way, we know she is using a <em>simile </em>in her sentence to compare what she feels her diary is or represents.
