d.'"why, why,' eckels twitched his mouth. 'it could reach up and grab the moon.'

The line that best develops Eckles's character is:

B."Get f here,' said Eckels. 'It was never like this before. I was always sure I'd come through alive."

Explanation:

In the previous lines, Eckels gets scared by seeing how gigantic the Tyrannusaurus rex was. He got scared, and he wanted to go back, he wanted out. Thinking it was a mistaken coming there, because the thought he we would be safe.

This is the line that best describes Eckle as a character, because it shows his insecurity, he is defined by his cowardly actitudes. He didn´t fully assumed what it toke to go in the mission he wanted. He wanted to go to the future to met wtih dinasours, but wanting to be assured about his safety. Not really up for the mission.
