The best definition of figurative language is:

4) A special way to say something that means something different than actual words used; a word, phrase or expression used in non-literal way.

This figure of speech uses words or expression to a convey a mening that differs from the literal interpretation.

Option 1 is not correct because that is the definition of Alliteration. Option 2 is not correct either, because that is the definition of Personification.
