Answer:

A). Hope.

Explanation:

The mood is exemplified as the ambiance or atmosphere created by the author through the descriptions and use of words that assist to evoke the senses/emotions of the readers. The author usually sets up the mood by establishing a setting that appeals to their emotions and helps invoke the desired response from them.

These words create a hopeful, positive, and emotional atmosphere(mood) among the audience that elicits the desired emotional response from them. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
