To recognize which line in the excerpt from Amy Lowell's "Lilacs" represented above emphasizes consonance the only thing you need is to read it aloud. It is like when you want to focus on the rhyme of some lines. So, according to this rule, I would say that the first option (A. Heart-leaves of lilac all over New England) is an example of emphasizing consonance.
