This would be personification. This is because it is giving an object human like functions.

Answer:

Personification

Step-by-step explanation:

Personification gives inhuman objects human qualities or actions, here the stove "gave a hissing sigh", which suggests a human like action because stoves don't typically "sigh" but humans do.
