Ответ:
I believe that the answer is C.
Explanation:
It is because A does not make sense because he would already have searched the whole room. B does not make sense because it has nothing to do with tension literally. D is not correct because it does not make sense in general to have tension by giving emphasis on how the character will look around. C makes the most sense because everyone will feel uncomfortable and the person who robbed the money will be scared, which means that the reader might think that Ellery will find the money from the search soon.
