Answer:

(2)metaphor

Here war has been compared to winter.

Metaphor is a word or phrase used to describe a person or something else in a way that is different from its normal use, in order to show that the two things have the same qualities and to make the description more powerful, for example ‘She has a heart of stone.’

Explanation:

This phrase/expression ‘are fed by peaceful harvests’ is from the poem, No Men Are Foreign by James Kirkup. This expression means people living in all parts of the world are also fed by the crops grown and harvested in peaceful times. And they also learnt to value peace after they were kept starved by long years of war.
