A Correct answer
Explanation

'As bright as a button' is an idiom used to describe someone who is quick-witted, intelligent, or alert. The comparison to a shiny button emphasizes the person's sharpness and mental clarity. Words like shining, gleaming, and sparkling describe physical brightness but don't complete this traditional idiom about intelligence.
