Answer:

The answer is (C) allusion.

Explanation:

Apostrophe is incorrect because the two lines are not addressing an unknown third-party.

It is not a metaphor because metaphors compare a subject to another subject figuratively, such as: Your lips as red as the poisoned apples of Snow White.

It is not an alliteration because the words do not sound like each other – such as for example, sea shells on the sea side.

Allusion is correct because this literary device is defined as referring to something without explicitly saying it, such as mentioned in the line: Odors, when sweet violets sicken, which refers to the smell of rotting flowers.
