After reading the sentence and the options, we can say that the figurative language used is the following:
B. Personification
It is the figurative language that gives human traits and behaviors to inanimate objects.
For example, in the sentence, "The wind kept on singing and the beautiful flowers danced to it," we have personification. The wind cannot really sing, and flowers cannot really dance.
The purpose of the author would be to convey the idea that the movement of the flowers in the wind was so beautiful that it reminded her of dancing.
In the sentence we are analyzing here, there is personification when the author says "The Mediterranean was still attacking them." The Mediterranean is a geographical region that encompasses certain countries and a sea.
A geographical region itself cannot attack. The people who live in it can, however. The author personified the Mediterranean with the purpose of indicating the its people were the ones attacking.
