Verified Answer :

c is a metaphor i think

Answer:

C. A white blanket covered the streets.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which one relates two objects that would otherwise not be associated, by means of a direct comparison in which the meaning of the thing compared acquires a deeper and figurative sense.

In the answer above, the metaphor is established between a white blanket that covers the streets with what, one can surmise, would be snow falling on the ground.
