The correct option is:

C. “To lift the lean of that black bluff!”.

The question refers to "God's World" by Pulitzer Prize-winner Edna St. Vincent Millay. Alliteration is a literary resource that appears when there´s a notable repetition of the same initial consonant sounds, even those spelled differently, in successive or associated syllables in a sentence or group of words.
