Which of these phrases includes a simile?

A. Her call was as gruff as a sea lion's.
B. The sunset on the pier was like one I saw in a magazine.
C. I looked down the pier just as a sea lion hoisted itself back in the water.
D. His voice resembles his mother's voice.

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.
