Which statement best evaluates the author's use of pacing to enhance the narrative?

The asteroid came upon them suddenly, glancing off the spaceship's
starboard side and bouncing into the distance. Then another, and
another. It was a storm. Captain Peters summoned the crew: one to
the bridge, another to the rear. Now the asteroids were hitting two and
three at a time, hurling themselves at full speed, leaving damage in
their wake.

A. The pacing is not effective because the short sentences are too

energetic to give the sense that the situation is scary.

B. The pacing is not effective because the long sentences make the

asteroid strike feel slower than it is.

C. The pacing is effective because the long sentences tell the reader
that the crew has the situation under control,

D. The pacing is effective because the mixture of short and long
sentences gives a sense that the scene is frantic.
