Which type of figurative language is used in the following line from John F. Kennedy's inaugural address to the nation? "The torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans." Allusion Simile Personification Symbol

It's allusion ? right ?

I would say symbol since there isn't actually a torch being passed down to the next generation, it is more of a symbolic thing.
