In "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce, the option that best describes the effect of this narration is <em>D. It tricks the reader into thinking that Farquhar survives.</em>

Farquhar is on a railroad bridge twenty feet above the water. His wrists are tied on his back and in his neck, there is a noose. He is surrounded by soldiers of the Northern army. His execution is going to take place very soon. The effect of the narration in the opening part is a set of realistic circumstances which will soon change without the reader being aware of this.
