Answer:

Alliteration (maybe)

REASONING:

definitions:

Allusion: an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference.

Assonance: in poetry, the repetition of the sound of a vowel in nonrhyming stressed syllables near enough to each other for the echo to be discernible

Consonance: the recurrence of similar sounds, especially consonants, in close proximity.

Alliteration: the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.

“The sure-footed fighter felt daunted.”

Answer: D. Alliteration

Explanation: Alliteration was the literary device used in Beowulf's Last Battle in the sentence. Alliteration can be described as words with the same sounding letter, so that's why "The sure-footed fighter felt daunted" is Alliteration.
