The answer is A: Consonance.

Consonance is a literary device used both in poetry and prose. It is characterized by the sound that the repetition of consonants creates between two or more words within a phrase, phrases or sentences. It usually appears at the end of stressed syllables without the need of any correspondence between their vowels, but it could also appear within the word or at the beginning. An example of consonance between two words would be: stroke and luck.
