Answer:

A: Formal business letter

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration is the use of similar sounding end words in a sentence. An example would include "Peter's papa paid people to play the piano".

Alliteration is mostly used by artists and in informal settings, therefore, using alliteration in a formal business letter would be considered inappropriate.
