The artist's interpretation can significantly impact the significance of the story as the image suggests that the crew's argument is relatively pitty.
Hence the correct option is B.
This artistic choice downplays the gravity of their situation and shifts the focus to the interpersonal dynamics of the crew. The jovial atmosphere created by the artist belies the underlying danger and serious consequences faced by the characters in the story.
Furthermore, the artist's depiction of the carefree interaction between the sailors and their wide-eyed expressions dismisses any sense of imminent threat, thereby reinforcing that the squabble among them is of little significance. This contrast between the visual interpretation and the textual narrative opens a dialogue on the discrepancies between appearance and reality, as well as the power of artistic license in telling a story.
