save and exit

Explanation:

Imagery uses descriptive language to create vivid mental images. The sentence compares shimmering stars to a "sea of tiny candles," using a simile to paint a detailed, sensory picture—stronger than the other options which are more general descriptions or focus on emotion rather than vivid visual detail.

Answer:

C. Stars shimmered in the sky like a sea of tiny candles.
