The correct answer is C.

In creating a mysterious mood, the word "quavering" would create a feeling of uncertainty.

"Quavering" means trembling or shaking -- therefore, it would not create a mood of boredom, mischief, or calm. By using this word, the reader might wonder: why are the raccoons quavering or trembling? Are they scared? Thus, the mood is uncertain and mysterious.
