I think it's D!
Definitely not alliteration (e.g. Slithery Sasha snake slyly steals slimy strawberry salads. Lol!) or onomatopoeia (e.g. Moo! went the cow. Boom! went the oven as whooshes of smoke slithers out to our fresh kitchen air.)
It was consonance.
For anyone else taking the test
1. “Full fathom five thy father lies” and “hark! Now I hear them,—ding-dong, bell”
2. Consonance
3. “Went snicker snack”
4. The impending confrontation between foes
