Answer: B) Personification.

Step-by-step explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals), in order to give an example of something. In the given paragraph we can see a clear example of personification in the phrase "When she was done, her calves were screaming in pain" because it says that her calves (non human objects) were screaming in pain (human characteristic).
