Explanation:

In Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher, the storm mirrors the escalating psychological terror and crumbling mental state of the narrator and Roderick Usher. It amplifies their fear rather than distracting from it, shifting focus inward to their deteriorating psyche, not outward, and is framed as a reflection of their internal horror rather than just nature's power.

Answer:

C. It mimics and increases the fear the narrator and Usher feel.
