Personification is the technique or practice of representing objects, qualities, etc. as humans, in art and literature. Poems, ‘The Brook’, ‘Song of the Rain’, and ‘Ode to Autumn’ are some famous examples of personification.

Keeping the definition of 'personification' in mind, the B option 'The stars winked at me' is the correct one. Here the stars have been shown behaving like a human being.
