Read the excerpt from “let bindi have the limelight.” "i think she's doing great," discovery channel executive producer wendy douglas told the australian broadcasting corporation in january 2007. "she's fine . . and i really hope that people, you know, hear that when i say—and when other people who are close to her [say]—she's having the time of her life because she does want to share with people singing and dancing about animals and about respecting them . . that's what she really, truly loves doing." as wes mannion, steve's longtime best mate and director of australia zoo, put it: "she's a little rock." what does the metaphor in the excerpt the reader understand about bindi? she is strong in the face of adversity. she is having the time of her life. she loves and respects animals. she wants to share things with people.

Taking in account the metaphor "She's a little rock" presented in the excerpt, the correct answer is She is strong in the face of adversity.

A rock is an element recognized for its hardness, usually used as comparison with people to point out how tough their personality is. Wes Mannion, the user of the methaphor in the excerpt, meant to describe how harsh the path to stardom must have been to Wendy, most likely due to personal issues or criticism from the audience.

The rest of the options were mentioned explicitly throughout the text. Therefore, there was no need to express those ideas again using implicit metaphors. Moreover, the meaning contained within these sentences is not related to that of a rock (love, respect, or share are not concepts that one would relate to a rock).
