Answer:

Personification is adding human characteristics to a non-human object. (D. "The landscape listens, shadows - hold their breath.")

Step-by-step explanation:

The landscape listening as if it has ears, and shadows holding their breath are things a living thing would do, so (D) is the best answer.
