The correct answer should be C. Personification

That is because a personification is when you assign human like values to innate objects or abstract concepts. In this case, remorse is behaving like a person that dogs someone around and has a sister and what not and that is not possible because remorse is an abstract idea and not a living being that's capable of doing that.
