जलता
Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Jeevana (Life))

"जलता है यह जीवन-पतंग" में 'जीवन' उपमेय है और 'पतंग' उपमान है। यहाँ जीवन पर पतंग का अभेद आरोप होने से रूपक अलंकार है।

In this line, 'jeevana' (life) is the Upameya, while 'patanga' (moth) is the Upamana. Rupaka Alankara superimposes the moth onto life.
