○ \the first time i rode a roller coaster, i was nine years old.\
○ \i remember feeling both terrified and excited.\
○ \i had goosebumps, and the hairs on my arms were standing straight up.\
○ \my sister and i waited in line for an hour, which only made me more nervous.\

Explanation:

Sensory details describe physical sensations that can be perceived by the senses. The correct option uses tactile/visual details of goosebumps and raised arm hairs to show the narrator's physical reaction, which is a vivid, sensory-specific detail. The other options provide factual context, emotional states, or a situation, not direct sensory perceptions.

Answer:

"I had goosebumps, and the hairs on my arms were standing straight up."
