Unclear question, but I infer you are referring to a passage that isn't mentioned.

Answer:

e. Personification

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the context which referred to abstract objects; time and care, the author seems to be personifying 'Time'.

Note that Personification is a type of figure of speech that attributes or refers to something that is not a person as though it were.

One common example is "Have you seen my car? Isn't she beautiful?". We noticed the car is spoken as though it were a person.
