Answer: Most likely B, A dream, like a child, can be hurt if treated too roughly.

Explanation:

Personification is the act of comparing an inanimate object to something animate. For example, "The tree danced" Trees cant dance, but they can blow around from side to side in wind. So instead of saying the tree's leaves were affected by the wind or any other thing, you could at a poetic element and say it danced.
