I believe that the most prominent figurative language element in this excerpt is D. personification.
Personification is when non-human entities have human abilities or qualities. So, every pine and fir and hemlock wore ermine... 
It's not simile, as simile is comparison using words such as like or as. Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant, so that's also incorrect. Synecdoche is a form of a metaphor, so it's not that either. Hyperbole is exaggeration, so that is incorrect as well.

<em>The right answer is letter C - </em><em>that the speaker is able to see and feel her faith in eveything that surrounds her.</em>

<em>In this poem the poet explains why she stays at home during sabbath instead of going to church. She describes how the choir is replaced by a bobolink and a sexton, and that she doesn't need to go anywhere in particular as the "orchard"  outside can be likened to church "dome". </em><em>Emily feels her faith is not bound to any place but rather it can be found in everything around her.</em>
