Answer:

C. Christ Atkins is the current Romeo of Brooklyn City. All the ladies love him.

Step-by-step explanation:

Allusion is a figure of speech that provides a brief and indirect reference to something (like a phrase, a place, idea, a literary work) or a person that are commonly known and has a significance in our society.

Sentence C contains an illusion because it provides an indirect and brief reference to the male protagonist of William Shakespeare's play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet: Romeo Montague, who has come to be seen worldwide as an idealistic lover.
