Answer: Option (D) is correct

Explanation:

Personification is defined as the mechanism in which any object, thing or idea is represented in the form of person. Non-human entities are entitled with human traits.

According to the question, wind is the abstraction that is being represented with the human characteristics i. e - whispering of name.

Other options are incorrect because bicycle shining in sun, movement of flowers in forward and backward direction and laughter of a child is similar to song notes does not display personifying any thing or object. Thus, the correct option is option (D).
