Answer:

The correct answer is B. He spoke in ... the "scathing and withering style."

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ellipsis in singular or ellipses in plural are the three dots which is a punctuation mark. the importance of using an ellipsis comes when we want to omit a word, phrase, line, paragraph, or more from a quoted passage. A and B are similar but the dots in B have space and that makes it the most suitable answer.
