Answer:

They create a regular rhythm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assonance and Consonance are the repetition of vowel sounds.

For example: consider this phrase:

Men set the wedding bells.

The sound of the short vowel "e" is being repeated. This gives the poetry a pleasing rhythm to it.

Hope this helps!

Answer: They create a regular rhythm.

Explanation: B is obviously wrong, so is C because assonance & consonance are sound devices, not mood setters.
