Answer:

The answer is the letter D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gothic literature is a literary strand that represents Romanticism more directed to the mystery and to the dark side. It deals, above all, with themes that contradict the customs, traditions and culture of a given society.

Nature in Gothic novels often suffers from a certain terror, for showing nature as something powerful and fatal. This element is present in the excerpt shown in the question. Nature in the excerpt is dangerous, powerful and fatal, showing that this passage is in a work of Gothic literature.
