A metaphor is defined as a figure of speech where a word or phrase is applied to an object or an action to which is it not literally applicable. It compares the objects without using the word 'like' or 'as' (that would be a simile). So for this question, the answer would be D. The mighty oak is the king of the forest world. The other three answers are examples of similes.
