Answer:

B. "The forest seemed interminable; nowhere did he discover a break in it, not even a woodman's road."

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique used by many authors to anticipate a clue about information that will only appear in the text later, or information that the characters still do not know. Foreshadowing serves to make the reader curious about the consequences that anticipated information will have on the narrative. Among the options given in the question, the one with foreshadowing is the letter B, as the author anticipates the information that "the forest seemed endless" before the character realizes it.
