The answer is C due to the definition of personification. The author is giving the wind a human action “howling”. A and D are essentially saying the same thing. The night is being compared to an ANIMAL (cat), so it can’t be PERSONification. B) pairing the night and stars also doesn’t make sense as personification

Answer:

Well the definition of personification is

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

I think the answer is D.

because the night is being given human qualities making it seem like a character by saying it's like a cat, I can see that the wind is being portrayed as the breath and the stars are being portrayed as the "ravenous eyes"
