A metaphor and an analogy have similarities but they are not the same thing. The correct difference between the two is:
An analogy is a comparison between two different things that highlights their similarities in order to explain or illustrate a concept or idea. It often uses familiar or concrete examples to make the comparison more relatable.
A metaphor, on the other hand, is a figure of speech that directly equates two unlike or unrelated things, suggesting that they are the same. It does not use "like" or "as" to make the comparison, unlike a simile which does. Metaphors are used to create vivid and imaginative descriptions, often by giving something intangible or abstract a concrete representation.
So, to clarify, option 2 is the correct statement: A metaphor is a type of analogy.
