The statement in the question draws a comparison between Moutai’s claimed hangover-proof quality and a
groundbreaking historical invention (gunpowder). The use of "would make it" suggests a hypothetical scenario,
and the comparison is meant to emphasise significance, not an actual invention. This indicates that the
comparison is metaphorical/figurative (Option C), conveying the liquor’s potential impact on culture and
society; hence, we can eliminate Option A.
Option B also implies that the comparison is based on actual substance or tangible qualities. Though the claim
about being hangover-proof is substantive, the comparison to gunpowder is not grounded in tangible,
measurable terms but rather in its significance. Similarly, Option D suggests that the phrase equates Moutai
directly with gunpowder, which is incorrect: the phrase does not treat the two as synonyms but draws a
symbolic comparison.
Hence, Option C is the correct choice
