Answer:

B. alliteration

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration refers to the repetition of the same letter of sound at the beginning of contiguous words or nearby words. Therefore, the line includes the words gown, grassie and green, which have the occurrence of the initial sound /g/; as well as the words sleeves and satten, which begin with the same sound /s/.
