Explanation:

1. Alliteration: The phrase uses repeated initial consonant sounds in "fires of frustration" (the "f" sound), which matches the definition of alliteration.
2. Metaphor: The phrase compares the intense, destructive feelings of frustration and discord to "fires" without using "like" or "as", fitting the definition of a metaphor.
3. Simile is not present: There is no use of "like" or "as" to make a comparison, so simile does not apply.

Answer:

B. alliteration, C. metaphor
