Since we are discussing sensory details, we are using all of our senses as Poe gives a word picture. Of course the only thing he doesn't do is taste it but he does everything else. He sees it, he hears it hissing, he feels the vibration, he smells its acrid breath.
The answer would be all of the above. You should consider what your audience already might know so that you don't repeat the things that they do. You need to know where you can find credible sources of information to support your thesis statement. You definitely need to know what the purpose of your report is, because if you are writing without a purpose, your report will sound unprofessional and badly written. So, the correct answer would be:
C) All of the above
Hope this answer helped!
