Answer:

C) “hear the mellow wedding bells” Edgar Allen Poe

Explanation:

Assonance is the constant repetition of a vowel sound, it´s also called diphthing, in this case you can hear the "e" sound all through the sentence:

"hear thE mEllow wEdding bElls"

This is often used to set a mood, or to re-inforce some words meaning.
