Personification.

Explanation:

Personification is the literary technique of giving human attributes and characteristics to a non-living entity. This means that non-living things, ideas, and even feelings are given characteristics of living things like being able to talk or walk or even think.

The given phrase is taken from Ayn Rand's dystopian novella "Anthem", part seven. The narrator reveals that "[they were] walking to the fangs awaiting us somewhere among the great, silent trees". Here, the author makes the trees seem alive, ready to devour them, with its fangs.

Thus, the correct answer is personification.
