Best guess would be D. Idioms.

Because looking at the definition of idioms. It says that Idioms existing in every language is a word or phrase NOT taken literally.
So when someone says your house is "neat as a pin" There using an idiom to compliment you on your house. And with the phrase "a piece of cake" they use an idiom to say it's "easy".

Hope this makes sense. :) If you need it explained a little further feel free to private message me.
