Giving the moon human like image

Answer 2

A) Incorrect

A simile is a comparison using like or as.

B) Incorrect

A metaphor is a comparison without using like or as.

C) Incorrect

D) Correct

Wind, in this case, is being given a characteristic of a living being. Wind is not something that 'howls,' but in this sentence, it is being said that it does. Thus, personification is used.
