Answer: a. metaphor

Explanation: A metaphor is when something is representative for something else, or when a word is applied to something that is not literally applicable. In this excerpt from "Self-Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the "iron string" is representative for the faith which someone places upon themselves. The line means "believe in your work and ignore the criticism of others".
