Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

A simile compares using as: flourish as the palm tree (II). A metaphor states one thing is another: Life is a dream (I). Personification gives human action to Death laying his icy hand (IV). Synecdoche uses a part for the whole: mouths for people (III). Hence (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III).
