Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
The lines paint a vivid visual picture of the eye-spots on a peacock's tail, 'dark glowing eyes, violet fringed with golden amber', appealing to the sense of sight. Such sensory description is imagery. There is no substitution of one term for another (metonymy), no humorous double meaning (pun), and no comparison using 'like' or 'as' (simile).
