I believe you have a typo when it comes to the first option - it should be athletics, not athletic. The word athletic is an adjective, and the word athletics is a noun.
That being said, the correct answer is A. athletics. Even though this noun ends in -s, it is still singular. The rest of the options are all plural nouns.

Alliteration is a stylistic literary device used in literature, poetry, and spoken word in which numerous words containing the same first consonant sound (or letter) occurs frequently and close together. Alliteration concerns identical consonant sounds which often (but not always) coincide with the same letter.
