Im confused lol, what do you mean
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
The young docent welcomed the class to the museum, explaining that the east wing was under construction and he’d be leading them to the first exhibit. His fingers leapt to his name tag as he nervously introduced himself as "Liam, a student of the arts." Then he bade the group follow him. They traversed a vaulted hall lined with hulking objects, each one obscured by a faded tarpaulin. Some of the items stretched across the floor, others cast long shadows on the museum walls. What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?
A. word choice
B. quickening the pace of the story
C. intentionally omitting setting details
D. making the outcome of events uncertain
Answer:
The correct answer is <u>C. intentionally omitting setting details
.</u>

Explanation:
The author of this passage only gives us enough information to know where the characters are, and that the place is a bit scary. We know it's a museum, but we don't know what it looks like. There are items, "hulking objects", but the author does not offer any details. We don't know what these objects are; all we know is that they stretch across the floor or cast long shadows. The same goes for the museum. The lack of details prevents readers from visualizing it clearly. We know the man and the class are at a vaulted hall. The color of the walls, the lighting, the atmosphere, all of it is omitted. That technique helps create suspense, since, without much information, we do not know what to expect.
D. prediction

NOT:a. characterizationb. foreshadowingc. irony
it leads to a deeper understanding of a story.
