    B: Similes

    Explanation:

    Replacing the phrase "Dr. King uses figurative language" with "Similes" is using a more specific vocabulary because there are several examples of figurative language (metaphor, hyperbole, personification, etc.). But in his "Letter to Birmingham Jail" Dr. King specifically uses similes as we can read: "Just as the [ ... ] prophets ... "; "just as the Apostle Paul ... " and "Like Paul, I must ... " It is a direct comparison, which uses "as" and "like".
