Solution

The correct option is B <!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Her words were daggers
<!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Here, the comparison between her words and daggers is indirect, saying the words were daggers themselves. It means her words were so precise and to-the-point that they countered every argument they put forward. The comparison does not use any comparison words. Hence, it is a metaphor.
