The weeping of the guitar / begins

Personification is giving a non-human thing human-like traits. In this sentence the non-human thing is the guitar and it has the human trait of weeping. The first example seems like it could be personification because it has both human and non-human things in it. However, it is a metaphor comparing the stomach to a melon. The last two options are not even close.
