Which line in this excerpt from Richard Connell's “The Most Dangerous Game” uses personification?

"The old charts call it `Ship-Trap Island,"' Whitney replied. “A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition—-"

"Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.

"You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh, "andI've seen you pick off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but even you can't see four miles or so through a moonless Caribbean night."

"Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet."

The correct option is this: 'CAN'T SEE IT', REMARKED RAINSFORD, TRYING TO PEER THROUGH THE DANK TROPICAL NIGHT THAT WAS PALPABLE AS IT PRESSED ITS THICK WARM BLACKNESS IN UPON THE YACHT.
Personification is a figure of speech which gives human attributes or characteristics to something that is not human.
In the correct option above, the author gives some human attributes to a dark night. The attributes are warmness, palpable and pressing. 

The second option is correct.

B) "Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night . . .
