The figure of speech the King is employing in this excerpt when he refers to dark clouds, deep fog and radiant stars is D. metaphor.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that contains an implied comparison to describe an object or action in a way that is not literally true, but helps to convey an idea and color the language. In the speech, the King is not referring to actual clouds, stars or fogs, but to what those elements represent.
