The answer is B Affrighted. It means frightened, and the overall tone of the passage is that anxious frightened feel. The other choices do not reflect an anxious frightened feel.
Definitely A and also we get a further insight on how the characters are through their dialogue therefore I'm saying A and D if its multiple choice. If not then just do a. Good luck :)
