All answers except (B) are correct.
"The Lord is my shepherd" by itself is an example of (D) personification because it ascribes personal attributes to a non-personal entity, God. You could also say (C) metaphor since God is not Himself engaged in the act of herding sheep, but his manner of directing people is similar to a shepherd. It is not a simile since there is no "like" or "as".
However, the whole phrase: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not lack for anything" is an example of (A) hyperbole since it is exaggerating the relationship of a shepherd to his sheep. Just because a person is a shepherd does not mean that his sheep are entirely protected.
