Answer:
I would say that the statement about The Tempest that best illustrates the effects of character depiction on a productions tone is B: if all of the actors in the production were children, it would convey a feeling of innocence.
Step-by-step explanation:
I chose this option because, usually, the presence of children in a production influences and even changes the tone of a production. More so, if all of the actors in the productions are children or are grown-ups who represent children. The tone of the play will be a tone of innocence, a tone of youth and grace. A play with a strong presence of children will transmit happiness, and will probably generate tenderness and sweetness in the audience, even when it is a drama. That is why I chose B.
