The correct answer is: A."Time is a thief."

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unrelated things without using "like" or "as." It states that one thing is another to convey a deeper meaning.

"Time is a thief" is a metaphor because it directly compares "time" to a "thief," suggesting that time steals moments from our lives, even though time isn't literally a thief.
