D.Explanation:Options A, B, C are similes. A simile says that one item is like another; that's why a simile uses words "like" or "as". D says simply "the oak is the king"; it is a metaphor.

A is the answer because it's comparing two items without like or as- when like or as is used, it's a simile.

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.
