Answer:

B) The wind kicked up all the leaves we raked this morning.

Explanation:

Personification means to give human traits to non-humans.

In this answer choice, the wind (non-human) kicked (human-trait) up all the leaves we raked this morning.

Note that the wind is not a human, yet it is described as doing something a human would do, which is kick. This is an example of using personification.

Another example, can be:

<em>The door moaned loudly as it slowly creaked open. </em>

A door does not moan, it is a human trait that is used to describe the noise the door made.
