COUNTY ATTORNEY. Yes, but I would like to see what you take, Mrs. Peters, and keep an eye out for anything that might be of use
to us. MRS. PETERS. Yes, Mr. Henderson. (The women listen to the men’s steps on the stairs, then look about the kitchen.) MRS. HALE. I’d hate to have men coming into my kitchen, snooping around and criticizing. (She arranges the pans under sink which the Lawyer had shoved out of place.) MRS. PETERS. Of course it’s no more than their duty. MRS. HALE. Duty’s all right, but I guess that deputy sheriff that came out to make the fire might have got a little of this on. (Gives the roller towel a pull.) Wish I’d thought of that sooner. Seems mean to talk about her for not having things slicked up when she had to come away in such a hurry.

Answer: C) various sound effects can be used to create or enhance the mood.
Explanation: In the given scene from "Trifles" we can see a conversation between Mrs. Peters an a County Attorney while they are in her kitchen. Reading a scene silently can have many advantages, like, for example, we can give the characters the voices that we like and sometimes even the tone that they are speaking with. But, in this case, hearing the scene would have also advantage, like the use of sound effects to create or enhance the mood.
I would say suspense or tension but I'm not entirely sure because a motif is just a design, a catharsis is like releasing emotion from a suppressed feeling, tension is dragging things out, and suspense leaves readers on the edge of their seat.
