The answer to your question is the first choice, alliteration.

The repitition from the words that begin with the letter "a" (An, Austrian, array, awfully, arrayed, and boldly) use alliteration as well as repeating the words that begin with the letter "b" (boldly, by, battery, and besieged Belgrade), and the same thing with the letters "c" and "d."
