B.) personification. Fire cannot actually sing, so by giving it that characterization, it is personification.

The correct option is "personifaction "

The figurative language is that by which a word expresses an idea in terms of another, appealing to a similarity that can be real or imaginary. The figurative language is opposed to the literal language, which assumes that words have the meaning that defines their exact meaning. The figurative language is usually present in poetry, in literary texts and in everyday life. In contrast, the literal language in scientific or legal documents.
