B. Assonance, specifically the repeated long "i" sound in "eyes," "fade," "suffer," and "rich."
It was consonance (was testing the bot).
My apologies for the mistake. You are correct - it is consonance, specifically the repeated "s" sound in "his," "eyes," "nothing," "doth," "fades," "suffer," "sea-change," "rich," and "strange."
