This question is mostly interpretative. However, the majority could agree that the most appropriate answer would be C, as the figurative language and imagery used by the author are used in a manner that they're descriptive enough to keep the suspense of the scene, but not long enough to distract the audience from the events of the plot.
Universal is the correct answer.
Universal means something that is applicable in all cases, or can be shared by all people in general, which makes sense in the sentence since you are talking about something that is shared by a wide variety of people. As well, localized means a small group, archetypal means a certain type of person and current means now, none of these fit the description given. Therefore universal is the best choice.
