To determine which line from the poem is an example of personification, we need to understand what personification is. Personification is a literary device in which human characteristics are given to non-human things or ideas.
Let's analyze the given lines:
A. "shining with all his might" - This line does not involve giving human characteristics to non-human things or ideas. It simply describes something shining brightly.
B. "The billows smooth and bright" - The word "billows" refers to waves or large bodies of water. Describing them as "smooth and bright" doesn't assign them human characteristics. It is a vivid description.
C. "And this was odd, because it was" - This line does not involve personification. It simply states that something was strange or unusual.
D. "After the day was done-" - This line does not involve personification either. It simply indicates the passing of time.
From the given options, none of the lines exhibit personification.
