PLEASE HELP ASAP Read the following poem:

The Eagle by Alfred Lord Tennyson

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.

( The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; ) <-------- THIS IS THE BOLDED LINE!
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

Which type of figurative language is used in the bold line?

A .Hyperbole
B. Metaphor
C. Personification
D. Simile

Personification because it’s expressing that a non living object is "crawling."
