Answer:

B) Personification

Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech that takes place when a non-human element such as an idea, abstract quality, an element of nature, animal, emotion, event, country or inanimate object is given human characteristics like pondering, talking, writing, and singing. The line uses this figure of speech because "America", the nation, can not literally sing; here, the author is "personifying" this non-human element.

I would say D.  I know it looks weird, but that doesn't have anything to do with it. There needs to be a period after Friday because it is abbreviated, and there also needs to be a comma after Friday because a month comes next. There also needs to be a period after October because it is abbreviated. And then there is a period after 12 because it's  the end of the sentence.
