Answer:

A.) personification

Step-by-step explanation:

Personification can be defined as a figure of speech which gives inanimate objects, or otherwise inhuman things, human characteristics. A hyperbole is a dramatic exaggeration.

In this case, personification is being used. A bus, which is not a human, is said to be impatient. Impatience is a human trait that is not experienced by non-living things.
