Alliteration occurs when the same initial consonant sounds are repeated in neighboring words. Let's examine each option:
A: "When I’m on the mic I stand tall with gall" - This contains "tall" and "gall" with the repetition of the 't' and 'g' sounds but does not have adjacent words with the same starting consonant sound.
B: "Drama, so close to not completing the missing piece of the puzzle" - There are no instances of repeated initial consonant sounds.
C: "Stuck in Nintendo, you’re the controller/ Street Fighter and such" - This contains the 's' sound in "Stuck," "Street," and "such," which is an example of alliteration.
D: "My mind makes marvelous moves, masses/ Marvel and move, many mock what I've mastered" - This contains multiple instances of the 'm' sound in "mind," "makes," "marvelous," "moves," "masses," "Marvel," "move," "many," and "mock," which is a strong example of alliteration.
