Answer:

In this passage, Alliteration is present in the words "nodded, nearly napping".

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration is defined as the repeated sound of the first consonant in a series of multiple words, like here in - "nodded, nearly napping" -(all starting with 'n')

Or we can also say that it is the repetition of the same kind of sound at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables.

So, the correct option is C. the words nodded, nearly napping are right next to each other and are stressed.
