Answer: C) The wind laughed through the trees.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). From the given options, the line that represents an example of personification, is the corresponding to option C: " The wind laughed through the trees" because it says that the wind (which is a non human object) laughed (a human characteristic).
