Explanation:

The question asks for a figure of speech where an object/idea acts as a symbol. A metaphor is a literary device that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison by using one thing to represent another (acting as a symbol). The other options are common nouns, not figures of speech.
