HELP! I NEED HELP ASAP~!

Read the stanza from the poem "July."

When the tangled cobweb pulls
The cornflower's cap awry,
And the lilies tall lean over the wall
To bow to the butterfly,
It is July.

Which answer best identifies and interprets the poetic device in these lines from the stanza?

… the tangled cobweb pulls
The cornflower’s cap awry


A) It is personification, as a cobweb is described as "pulling" and a cornflower is described as wearing a cap.


B) It is an appeal to the reader's sense of touch, as one can almost feel the sticky fibers of the tangled cobweb.


C) It is an appeal to hearing, as a cap is an outdated term for a hearing aide.


D) It is a metaphor, as the cobweb actually represents the world the poet has created.
