The correct answer to this question is C, Simile. Similes compare two things to each other by using the words like or as. The sentence provided uses the word like to compare her face to a sunbeam. Another example is "The baby is as strong as a weightlifter."

This sentence uses the word as and examines the strength of a baby to that as a weightlifter. "He is as smart as a fox" is another example of a simile using the word as. Similies commonly use in both literature and comedy to help explain things and paint a picture. It is also used in everyday conversations and widely on social media.
