"D. The horse hooves of rain landed loudly on the tin roof." is the answer.
A. is an example of imagery/ personification.
B. is a normal sentence
C. is a simile
D. is the answer because it is definitely calling something that it is not WITHOUT using like or as. For example, C. could be the answer if the "like" was not there: Her voice was a thick velvet blanket.
