Answer:

D. alliteration

Step-by-step explanation:

Option D is actually the correct answer.

Alliteration is a figurative language whereby the same letter or sound of a word is repeated within a group of words even though they are spelt differently. It is also known as initial rhyme or head rhyme.

In the first line of the given sentence, we see a repetition of words beginning with letter 'S': "Suspended from school; and scared to go home..."

In the second line of the given sentence, we see a repetition of words beginning with letter 'B': "...with the big boys, breakin all the rules..."

These are examples of alliteration.
