Answer: Alliteration

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration is the same sound/letter repeated. “Slippery, slithery, snake” has the s sound repeated. Hyperbole is an exaggeration, which is incorrect. A simple uses like or as to compare two things, which is incorrect. A metaphor compares two things without using like or as, also incorrect.
