Answer: B) Personification.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals), in order to exemplify something.. In the given excerpt we can see a clear example of personification, because it says that the landscape (non human object) listens (human characteristic) and that the shadows (non human objects) hold their breath (human characteristic).
