The correct answer is B. Loud, shrill

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, the word "piercing" is used to describe the voice of Athena. In this, it explained her voice "stopped all fighters cold", this suggests her voice had a great impact, and therefore her voice can be described as loud or strident. According to this, the word "piercing" means "loud" or "shrill" because only a loud and shrill voice will have the effect of stopping fighters. Also, the powerful voice of Athena cannot be defined through other words such a soft or hushed.
