Explanation:

The text describes El Monstruo as hissing angrily when activated, framing it as an unpleasant, intimidating presence. This hostile, uncooperative portrayal of the machine would likely increase Arturo's stress, rather than making his job easier, sparking adventure, or building respect for Martín.

A. It adds to Arturo's feeling of stress.
