The answer is: Personification
The reasons why it isn't the others:
An Allusion is something that is a reference to something else, like Lincoln high school is a reference to Abraham Lincoln
Enjambment is the continuation of a sentence without a pause
Simile; is comparing two things that are not usually similar an example would be: "The eyes were so piercing, it was like a jaguar's glare."
The reason why its personification:
It's giving human attributes to something that isn't alive. Here the feet are taking a human characteristic of a "Furious" emotion.
