Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The alliteration in the sentence is in "grows" and "grey", and while there is no simile (as nothing is being compared using the words "like" or "as"), there is hyperbole, as the ocean is being exaggerated to become grey with fear, as the ocean did not actually become grey out of fear.
