Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

The appropriate response is choice C. Here the creator utilizes words like "followed" and "prey" this passes on the feeling that the searcher is, truth be told, a tracker to be dreaded, further strengthened by the searcher's whistling to let his "prey" realize he is coming for them and there is no other viable option for them.
