The figure of speech used in the phrase "babes of the sea" is (D) a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in a comparison.

This quote focuses on the idea that sometimes, no matter how hard people try, <em>they cannot achieve their goals or deepest desires.</em> They reach out further and further for one thing or someone and <em>never </em>get to it. Some never lose hope and "stretch out their arms farther", but that doesn't mean they'll get there. They have more optimism.
