Explanation:

Complex sentences often contain multiple clauses and details, which can slow down the narrative pace as the reader has more information to process. In this passage, there are sentences with descriptive elements and sub - clauses that add depth and take more time to read through. Limited descriptions and short sentences typically speed up the pace, and there is no strong indication of a gloomy setting being the factor for slowing the pace.

Answer:

C. Complex sentences
