Answer: A) True.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). If a poet writes that a flower (non human object) smiled (human characteristic) or that the wind (non human object) breathed softly (human characteristic), he is using personification, therefore the given statement is true (the correct answer is option A).
