The most foreboding part about the imagery in the quote is the eerie word choice. The phrase "black in the pale light" creates a sense of darkness and foreboding. The word "tangle" also suggests danger and chaos. Additionally, the fact that the Time Traveller looks at the lawn again suggests that something is wrong with it.

So the answer is (C).
