Solution

The correct option is C <!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> chips of ice
<!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Here, the eyes are said to freeze the speaker in fear, which indicates that they are cold. In this instance, 'chips of ice' is the correct metaphor. However, 'like ice chips' uses the comparison word 'like.' So, it is a simile, and is an incorrect option.
