Answer:
The answer is A. “April/Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.”
Explanation:
Personification in poetry means to "humanize" not human things. For instance, the answer here is A, because April is a "thing" a month, it doesn't come like an idiot (a person is an idiot) it doesn't babble (a person-baby babbles) and it doesn't strew (people strew).
The rest of the options are simply being described, if you see, they're not being "humanized" in any way.
