Read the following example: But as my bearded vision closelier ran
My tears off, I knew Flush, and rose above
Surprise and sadness; thanking the true Pan,
Who, by low creatures, leads to heights of love.
"Flush or Faunus," Elizabeth Barrett Browning

D. Simile

The correct answer is B. Allegory.

Explanation:

Allegory is a symbolistic description used in literature or the visual arts in which the original concept or idea is replaced by another. In an allegory, the real meaning of a work or expression is something other than its literal expression. For example, some abstract concept or force of nature can be described as a living being or humans as other animals. Typical examples of allegory are the fables and some of the visions of the Bible.
