    D. I am 89% sure!

    Explanation:

    "Look like the innocent flower" is a simile, and "be the serpent" is clearly a metaphor.

    he snake thus represents Macbeth's hidden ambition, and more literally, Lady Macbeth's plan of action. However, the serpent, to which Lady Macbeth metaphorically speaks of in act one scene five, is not only these evil desires of Macbeth. It also represents the threat that Macbeth possesses to Duncan.
