Answer: C. helps readers understand how rough the water was

Explanation:

Similes are a type of figure of speech that enable one to compare something to another thing so that a better depiction of the scenario is painted. It usually uses the words 'like' and 'as'.

In writing that the waves tossed the people around like rag dolls, the author wanted the reader to know how rough the waves were such that the water was able to move people around like they were as light and easy to carry as rag dolls.

Victor is reading a narrative poem about the deeds of gods and heroes. In this work, the author makes long and involved comparis
Serga [27]
It is an epic simile. This is because the comparisons are "long and involved". The main difference between an epic simile (also known as Homeric simile) and an ordinary simile is than an epic simile is very detailed and can span over many lines. Where as a normal simile usually is contained within one or two lines.

Example of epic simile:

But swift Aias the son of Oïleus would not at all now take his stand apart from Telamonian Aias,
not even a little; but as two wine-coloured oxen straining
with even force drag the compacted plough through the fallow land,
and for both of them at the base of the horns the dense sweat gushes;
only the width of the polished yoke keeps a space between them
as they toil down the furrow till the share cuts the edge of the ploughland;
so these took their stand in battle, close to each other.

Normal simile:

As white as a ghost
