Without a doubt I can say that the only phrase from the scale represented above which includes a simile is definitely the first option : A. Her call was as gruff as a sea lion's. I am pretty sure that this one shows the common structure of comparison by using such specific words as "as ... as'' in the best way. The other ones do not include simile at all, so the right answer is surely A.
