Answer: A. Personification

Explanation: Time doesn't actually stand, (in which the word is represented as "stood" in the past-tense) standing is a human characteristic or action, in which personification itself giving a non-human object human characteristics. Therefore, I would say it is personification.

A. Personification

Step-by-step explanation:

It is saying that time itself stood still as a human would. Time cannot stand still, but a human can. Therefore, it is personification :)
