A) metaphor.
B) simile.

Answer 1

Its D because that's the only one that has repetition at the beginning

Answer 2

The figure of speech that uses repetition of a specific consonant sound at the beginning of words or syllables is called alliteration. So, option D is correct.

Alliteration refers to the repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in successive or closely associated syllables within a group of words, even those spelled differently. Alliteration is also called head rhyme or initial rhyme.

Example of alliteration: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers".
