Figurative language is used to produce images in the readers mind. Figurative writing tools are things like metaphors, similes, personification, ect. It is not literal so C is out. Based on your choice of answers, A can also be removed. Figurative language is used in reading and writing, but it is not language specific to a career field. That leaves you with B as your best choice.
