Answer:

C). shrunk shank

Explanation:

Alliteration refers to the literary device that employs a series of words beginning with the same consonant sound in a sentence. It involves the repetition of identical initial sounds that serves to create connotative rhythm and mood that diverts the readers' attention and focus towards a particular section of the text. In the given excerpt, the example that illustrates alliteration is option C with 'shrink shank' as it contains repetition of consonant sound 's' twice that is adding rhythm to the line and attracts focus of the readers. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
