D, because it compares using like
I believe there is a mistake in your choices, because I don't see the correct choice here. The correct answer should be ABAB ABCB.
This is because in the first stanza, the first line A (son) rhymes with the third line A (shun), and the second line B (catch) rhymes with the fourth line B (Bandersnatch) - which makes the first stanza ABAB.
In the second stanza, the first line A doesn't rhyme with anything (hand), the second line B (sought) rhymes with the fourth line B (thought), and the third line C doesn't rhyme with anything - which makes the second stanza ABCB.
I would say, Simile because this compares the feeling of seeing the machine to being stabbed by a dozen awls. Similes use like or as to compare two different objects, so that is what leads me to believe this. It cannot be a symbol, because that does not represent anything. It cannot be personification because it does not take a nonliving object and give it human features. I would say that's it a metaphor, but it uses as, so I firmly believe that it is a simile..
