Explanation:

Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of adjacent or closely - connected words. In "session of sweet silent thought", the "s" sound is repeated, making it an example of alliteration. Rhyme is about similar - sounding end words in lines, hyperbole is extreme exaggeration, and simile uses "like" or "as" for comparison. None of these apply here.

Answer:

C. alliteration
