The correct answer is A. Claimed.

In the context of the passage, the synonym for alleged is "claimed." This is because when you observe this sentence: "I understand you have allegedthat you were not present on the night of the assault" you will notice that the one being interrogated is claiming that he was not present on the night of the assault.
