    D.

    " ... and wandered far down the steep slopes amid the wild tangle of undergrowth, peering through the tree trunks and listening through the whistling and skirling of the wind and the restless beating of the branches for sight and sound of the marauders."

    The language creates an uncertainty about what's going to happen and immerses the reader in the present moment, so that he/she feels as if she were in the story, watching for marauders as well.
