An absolute metaphor compares two things that have no obvious connection and does not use any words of comparison such as "like" or "as". In comparison, a concrete metaphor uses common or easily recognizable objects to explain an abstract idea, an extended metaphor continues throughout a passage or an entire work, and a symbolic metaphor uses an object or action to represent an abstract concept. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the type of metaphor described in the question.
