The correct answer is B. It emphasizes the conflicts surrounding integration.
Explanation:
A simile occurs when a situation, person or idea is described using a comparison. Additionally, in simile words such as like or as are used to establish this comparison. In the case of the text presented, there is a simile in "buses lined up like tanks on a battlefield" because the author compares the arrangement of the buses to the tanks of a battlefield.
Moreover, this idea conveys a deep meaning because in this context (May of 1974) the integration program began and this led to multiple conflicts between black and white students "A police officer keeps the peace as black students board the buses". Therefore, by comparing the buses to the tanks the author can show the importance of the conflicts that occur as a result of integration (Option B).

Here is the full passage for this question:
<span>There is likewise another diversion which is only shown before the emperor and the empress, and first minister, upon particular occasions. The emperor lays on the table three fine silken threads of six inches long; one is purple, the other yellow, and the third white. These threads are proposed as prizes for those persons whom the emperor has a mind to distinguish by a peculiar mark of his favor. . . . The emperor holds a stick in his hands, both ends parallel to the horizon, while the candidates advancing, one by one, sometimes leap over the stick, sometimes creep under it, backward and forward, several times, according as the stick is advanced or depressed.
</span>
I think the answer would be: <span>The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.
The full passage basically tell the readers about the strange contest that both the emperor and the empress like to conduct. We can see from the third sentence that those who are able to finish emperor's contest will be rewarded with a thread of silk.</span>
