Answer:

An allegory is story in which things, people, and actions represent parts of a doctrine or theme

Step-by-step explanation:

An allegory is a literature work, like a story or a poem, that conveys a moral lesson (a theme), a doctrine, abstract principles or a true by means of the events, things, fictional or symbolic figures, characters and actions narrated.

The other options are incorrect because something that stands for something else is a symbol, a short comparison may be a simile or a metaphor, and giving human characteristics to something not human refers to personification.
