The correct answer is D) an understatement describing a bad argument using an analogy.

The answer that correctly summarizes the meaning of the sentence is "an understatement describing a bad argument using an analogy."

The understatement here is that it presents something less or minor, or not better as, compared to the original idea. The expression was "if that was a disagreement, then Mount Everest is an ant hill and the Mississippi River is a trickle. So the expression refers to an exaggeration or an argument used incorrectly when an analogy was present.
