Explanation:

Personification is a figure - of - speech where non - human things are given human qualities. In option A, the jar is described as making the wilderness "slovenly", giving the jar a human - like power or action. Options B, C, and D do not attribute human qualities to non - human entities in the same way.

Answer:

A. I placed a jar in Tennessee, /... It made the slovenly wilderness / Surround that hill (Stevens, "The Anecdote of the Jar")
