7 He seized the other side of the wheel and helped to spin it around until it was hard down, and then we held it so. The boat resisted, and refused to answer for a while, and next she came surging to starboard, mounted the reef, and sent a long, angry ridge of water foaming away from her bows.

Answer: C) personification.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). In the given paragraphs we can see examples of personification, where the speaker gives the boat (a non human objects), the abilities of wanting something, resisting, refusing, etc (which are human characteristics). We can see that in phrases like "a boat hates shoal water" and "The boat resisted, and refused to answer for a while."
