A rock.
Explanation:
Eugenia Collier's short story "Marigolds," tells the story of a young girl and her family struggling to survive amidst the racist discrimination against the blacks. The story deals with themes of growing up, racism, acceptance, and understanding one's identity.
Lizabeth recalls how one night her father was so frustrated at being unable to provide enough for his family. He felt bad that his wife had to suffer and do more work while he feels helpless in not getting any job. That night, he cried while his wife consoled him. And it was at that moment that Lizabeth recalls how his father, <em>"who was the rock on which the family had been built, was sobbing like the tiniest child."</em>
Thus, Lizabeth compares her father to a rock.
I think the correct answer is C. The pronoun was used as the predicate nominative of the sentence. The predicate nominative is a pronoun or a noun which is next to a verb and it describes or renames the subject. It usually follows a linking verb or a verb phrase. For this case, it is followed by the verb phrase "was".
