'The god of rain/turned away his face'. Which figure of speech is used here ?
Answer: B
The figure of speech is personification.
'The god of rain turned away his face' gives rain a god who has a face and who deliberately looks away, as a person might out of anger or indifference. Treating the failure of the rains as a human act is personification.
Alliteration needs repeated initial sounds, which are absent. Oxymoron joins contradictory terms, as in 'bitter sweet'. A transferred epithet shifts a describing word from the person to a nearby noun, as in 'a sleepless night'. None of those happens here.
