Answer:

c. At four o’clock the tables folded like great butterflies back through the paneled walls.

Explanation:

Personification is when an inanimate object is given the characteristics of a living thing. This means that when something that is not alive like stones or wood are given living attributes, making them look like they are alive, is known as personification.

Among the given examples, personification is seen in the sentence about the tables. Here, the tables are personified as <em>"butterflies</em>", capable of folding themselves like butterflies. The speaker states that <em>"the tables folded like great butterflies"</em>, which is realistically impossible for a table to fold by itself.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
