Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things using the words "like" or "as". Option C uses the word "like" to compare a bit of evidence to a puzzle piece, which fits the definition of a simile. The other options do not use comparative language typical of a simile.

Answer:

C. Each bit of evidence is like a single puzzle piece that fits into the larger picture of what actually happened.
