Explanation:
Since the excerpt isn't there I can't give an exact answer. I don't think it's A or D because D is describing what a simile does, whereas A is leaning more towards personification instead of a metaphor.
A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things
A metaphor allows writers to convey vivid imagery that transcends literal meanings, creates images that are easier to understand and respond to than literal language
Personification is the attribution of human qualities, characteristics, or behaviours to non-humans, be they animals, inanimate objects, or even intangible concepts.
Sorry I couldn't give you a direct answer, but I hope this helps!
