Answer :

Cambridge Dictionary defines metaphor as "an expression, often found in literature, that describes a person or object by referring to something that is considered to have similar characteristics to that person or object."

B. The figurative language used in the sentence "James was a statue when he heard the terrible news, but he wept soon after." is a metaphor. The metaphor "James was a statue" has been used to convey the meaning that James was unemotional. James was in such a shock that his face showed no emotion and his body was completely still like that of a statue.
