D : The slow pace helps develop Mr. Whymper’s character with descriptive details

Explanation:

the pacing is rather slow and there is descriptive language that the writer provides about this mysterious man that the animals will be doing business with. the readers aren't confused it can't be A, the description of this man is rather eventful since it goes against the animal morals so it is not B, and the animals do dread the thought of Mr. Whymper however this is a detail that leads up to his characterization and so it is a part of his character description. The dread from the animals is only one sentence while Mr. Whymper's character is the whole paragraph.
