The correct response is:

Metaphors can be parts of analogies.

Analogies and metaphors are both figures of speech, but an analogy is a comparison between two things that highlights their similarities and provides a deeper understanding, often involving more than one metaphor at a time. A metaphor is a direct comparison between two unlike things, implying that one is the other. Therefore, metaphors can be used as components in the larger structure of an analogy.
