He tells me, my sweet queen, that he hath found
the head and source of all your son’s distemper.
the figurative language in these lines is an example of
a metaphor.
a simile.
an apostrophe.
personification.

the correct answer is metaphor.

a metaphor is a hidden comparison between two unrelated things. in "he hath found the head and source of " the intended meaning of the expression   "head and source" is "the origins and the causes of your son's distemper". that is the metaphorical meaning of the given expression.

i listened to this guy and put apostrophe and got it wrong. i believe the correct answer is personification, as the source of the son's distemper is given the characteristics of a head. there is no metaphor or simile present. hope this !
