A. hyperbole
B. metaphor

D. personification
The correct answer is B. metaphor.
A metaphor is a figurative device that makes a direct comparison between two unlike things, stating that one is the other, as in the phrase “I am fire.” This suggests qualities or characteristics of fire, such as intensity or passion, without using “like” or “as,” which differentiates it from a simile.
