Explanation:

In the line, the moon is described as "descends the steeps"—the verb "descends" implies a downward movement from an elevated area. "Steeps" here refers to steep heights or elevated slopes, which matches the context of the moon moving down from a high position in the twilight. The other options do not fit the directional action of descending.

E. heights
