Solution

The correct option is C the wind howled
Personification is a literary device used to represent an abstraction or a thing as a person. Option C)the wind howled is correct as the sound made by a wolf or a dog is called 'howling' and here, the wind howls as the wind is personified (the wind howled) as a dog or a wolf.
The other options are incorrect because none of them are personified.
