The correct answer is D. danced. Personification is a figure of speech in which inanimate objects or animals get human characteristics. So, obviously, a cell phone cannot really dance, but humans can, so if you use that verb to show that a mobile phone started ringing, then it's a personification because you assigned it human qualities that objects do not normally possess.

D. Danced. Personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

lord [1]

Answer: Figurative language is mostly used to leave a long lasting impression of something. Writers create images using figurative language so as to have us analyze and observe them in more detail. All of this is especially true of poets and poems who use metaphors, personification, and other narrative devices, so as to convey meaning almost all the time.
