the repetition of consonant sounds in nearby words
C
the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of nearby words
D
the repetition of vowel sounds at the beginning of nearby words

Explanation

Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds in nearby words, often within or at the ends of words. Choice B gives this definition. Repetition specifically at the beginnings of nearby words is called alliteration, so choice C is too narrow.
