Answer: B) "Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals), in order to give an example of something or to create an image. From the given lines of "The Most Dangerous Game" the one that uses personification is the corresponding to option B, because it says that the night (non human object) was palpable and was pressing its blackness in upon the yacht (human characteristics).
