The correct answer is B(simile and metaphor)
There is no personification because personification is the giving of animate qualities to inanimate objects and there is no case of that
So the answer is simile and metaphor option b because simile in the sense that they said“ his cheeks were as if they were balloons" and metaphor in the sense that they said“ and his eyes spoke many words“
So eyes speaking many words can not be personification because eyes is a part of human body it is not an inanimate object.
