Zeugma is a literary term for using kne word to modify two words in two different ways while pathetic fallacy on the other hand mean ascribing human feeling and emotions to non-humans
Ascribing human moods to nature, as in a playful-breeze illustrates _pathetic fallacy(B)_and not zeugma(D) which is the act of using a word, particularly an adjective or verb, to apply to more than one noun when its sense is appropriate to only one
The correct answer should be pathetic fallacy as zeugma involves using a word to modify or talk other about two things eg, when he is with her he opens his heart and wallet. Here, opens refer/modifies both heart and wallet in two different ways; the former refering to loving her and the latter refering to spending money on her.
Pathetic fallacy is using human characteristics to describe things of nature like in this case; playful-breeze. Humans can be playful but the attribute is given to breeze
