Platoon is a small group of soldiers. He describes the squeaking of hinges like a platoon of lost ghosts. It makes the story mysterious and tone oft he story gets more eeriness, Option D.
He is not making the plot believable as per Option A. Also, as mentioned in Option B, he is not comparing hinges to something unfamiliar as we know what ghosts are. It doesn't give Sophie a chance to say something to his father, as per Option C.
C - It contains the opinion of a person who saw A Man’s World.
Yes, that sentence is a simile, because it uses the word 'like'. For a sentence to be a simile, it has to use the words 'like, or 'as'. A metaphor compares things without using like or as, for example: He is a cheetah that zooms across the Savannah. :)
