Answer: (C) The personification suggests that past happiness can last a long time.

Explanation:the metaphor States that it sang one spring morning but was transferred into 100 years which means though this was the happiness at that moment but it travelled into 100 years which saying the voice could still be heard then.

This may mean that one could still feel the happiness that happened since the voice was still heard in 100 years as it traveled across.
