Question

personification gives (abstract or human) qualities to inanimate objects or ideas. the parenthesis are my options.

Answer 1

The answer is your second option: human.
Say a person uses personification to a dog. They may say something like "the dog is smiling!" when, in fact, dogs wag their tails to emote joy and do not have the capacity to really smile.

I hope this helps you, and have a nice day. :)
