The correct answer is B. It makes the story feel like it is happening live rather than in the past

Explanation:

In literature, the tense used in a narrative affect the atmosphere of it and the perception the audience has on events. In the case presented an excerpt for The War of the Worlds has been adapted for radio and in this process, the tense has changed from past to present tense. In both cases, one character who is also the narrator describes the way he or she observed an object or creature that resembled a snake.

However, in the case of the original excerpt the use of past shows this event already occurred and the character is just reporting them, while in the case of the second excerpt the use of present means the character is experiencing the events at that moment or that the story is happening which makes the actions go faster but also makes the story more dynamic and alive. Considering this, it can be concluded the effect of changing the tense to present is that it makes the story feel like it is happening live rather than in the past.
