Answer:
The feature that most helps indicate to the reader that this modern translation was originally an Old English poem is alliteration
Explanation:
The question is not complete since it does not provide the reference text, here is the text:
Read the passage from "A Shield."
A lonely warrior,I am wounded with iron,
Scarred with sword-points,sated with battle-play,
Weary of weapons.I have witnessed much fighting,
Much stubborn strife.
First of all, we need to take in consideration that alliteration is the principal literary device Old English poetry to bind the words, this lines have several examples of this technique such as "wounded with" or "stubborn strife", the other options are not as representative of old English poetry as this literary device.

The repetition of the line, "Brennan on the moor/Brennan on the moor/bold and undaunted stood young Brennan on the moor"
Explanation:
The repetition of the line, "Brennan on the moor/Brennan on the moor/bold and undaunted stood young Brennan on the moor" in the opening and closing stanzas call the reader to remember the name of the man in this epic-style poem as we begin and end his tragic story.
In the opening lines, the repetition is quite like a battle cry where the person spoken about is seen as our hero. As readers, we repeat his name to honor him and call forth his story.
In the closing lines, the repetition is meant to be an homage to the hero of our poem who has died.
