The mood that the playwright intend to evoke from the audience with this allusion is:
Fear
Explanation:
The Mood is the concept that represents the construction of a certain scene intending to create an emotional effect in the audience. In this text, we can observe the following. The writer is describing a character with low emotional control, which might be very aggressive. Also, he provides power and authority by saying it is a king. Then, the character was locked down in a very terrifying way by mocking the god. So, he got punished and we can infer that anyone that would mock the god would suffer at least something like this because remember that the character was a king not a single person like us, imagine what could happen to someone who was no king.
The playwright wants to illustrate fear to the audience because they fear the anger of Dryas and so he was put into prison for that reason, but maybe sadness as well because of the reason he was send to jail.
You can eliminate D. as the paragraph doesn't mention suspension. You can eliminate C. as that has nothing to do with the paragraph either. That leaves A and B. Between these two options A is the better choice as it specifically thanks her for her service and how you will honor her unlike B which goes off topic by referring to the future.
