Answer: C. Giggles.

Explanation: In the given excerpt we can see the description of a situation where Terry and other people are expecting Sheila to arrive at the house because they want to surprise her for her birthday. The excerpt gives the reader a clue that what is happening is going to be funny, by the use of the word "giggles" because it gives the idea that they can't control their laughter and excitement for the situation.
