The term "figurative language" refers to the use of metaphors, similes, allusions, and other poetic devices in order to impart a meaning to the words that is different from its literal one. It is used to make language more effective, impactful, and persuasive.

In option I, the fog is said to "walk" on cat feet. In option II, the allusion continues, by arguing that the cat-like fog "sits and looks." In option III, the fog is said to have "silent haunches." All of these elements discuss things that are impossible to take literally. They are all examples of figurative language.
