Personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form. Cross off C. An allusion is an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference. Cross off A. It is either a or b. I will go with B.

The figures of speech used in the passage about Richard is given in option (B): "implied metaphor"

What is implied metaphor?

An inferred metaphor is a more nuanced comparison in which the terms being compared aren't described as thoroughly.

"A mule standing his ground," for example, may be used to describe a stubborn man who refused to go.

The man is being compared to a mule, which is a rather obvious metaphor.

Therefore, option (b) is the correct figures of speech.
