Answer

Brief Explanations:

The word "distinguished committee" is used multiple times, which is a form of repetition. Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds, alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds, consonance is the repetition of final or medial consonant sounds, and onomatopoeia is the use of words that imitate sounds. None of these other sound - devices are clearly present here.

Answer:

D. repetition
