The answer is A: Allitaration.

Allitaration is a stylistic or literary device (sound device) that has the first consonant occuring close together in a series, creating a repetition of similar souds in a sentence, allowing rhythm and musicality. Certain sounds can affect the mood of a poem. Allitaration can be used to call attention to a certain idea.
