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.
