Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
Personification attributes human qualities/actions to non-human things. Hence only the sentence (A) is the answer. Note that the options are shuffled!
Sentence (C) can also feel personified because of “danced,” but bees are living creatures and can “dance” in a natural/figurative sense. In exam terms, (A) is the clearest personification.
