D) personification

Explanation:

The #color(red)("city")# is personified as a person who is #color(blue)("dozing")# and #color(blue)("slumbering")#.

For this to be an "allegory" it would need to be a "parable"; that is, it would need to be a story or an image that revealed some deeper truth or moral.
