Answer: B) Danger.

Step-by-step explanation: The tone of a text or sentence is the author's or speaker's attitude towards the audience, the subject or even the characters of the text. There are many different kinds of tones, like: positive, negative, objective, sad, angry, etc. In the given lines we can see that the author conveys a tone of danger, because he is saying that the wind is so strong that it was moving the foundations (the wind pried with its stiff fingers at the very foundations), so he was in danger.
