I have no idea about #8. The whole poem actually makes no sense to me, sorry.
In the poem, the speaker compares love to a surgeon and describes how love can "cut into your flesh like a scalpel" and "operate upon your heart." This comparison suggests that love has the power to cause deep emotional pain and also to transform or change a person, just like a surgeon's scalpel has the power to perform surgeries and alter physical conditions.
The options B, C, and D can be ruled out because the comparison is not based on emotion (B), physical appearance (C), or intellectual abilities (D). Love is being compared to a surgeon and the focus is on the impact and abilities of love, particularly in terms of its therapeutic or transformative power.
