Correct Answer: Alliteration

Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

Alliteration is the appropriate term. It specifically refers to the repetition of initial consonant sounds, adding a rhythmic and melodic quality to language.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.
Pun is a play on words that have similar sounds but different meanings.
Hyperbole means exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.
