The phrase "the river wound its way like a ribbon" uses a metaphor to describe the river's movement. It compares the river to a "ribbon," implying that the river flowed in a graceful and serene manner. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

 

Option A is not the correct answer because the metaphor emphasises the graceful flow of the river, not its size or depth.

 

Option C is not the correct answer because the metaphor suggests a smooth, winding flow, not turbulence.

 

Option D is not the correct answer because the metaphor does not indicate pollution but rather emphasises the river's natural beauty.
