The answer would be B. 

A metaphor is something that describes something with quality's that it does not literally have, or that are applicable.  It compares to things, it's symbolic,  and can give things human like quality's like "The branches of the oak tree dance in the wind preforming an elegant dance of love."

Trees don't really dance, and they can't love. xP
