Answer:

B. personification

Explanation:

The author of the lines gives human-like qualities to dreams, thoughts, Triumph, and Disaster, that those things would not normally have.

Similes compare two things using "like" or "as", and metaphors do the same, just without "like" or "as." Since nothing is being compared, those two options are out.

Hyperboles are exaggerations, such as "I've told you a million times." You haven't actually said it a million times but saying so gives an effect of your repetition of it. There are no exaggerations in the passage, so the only answer that fits is personification.
