The best option that addresses how sensory language affects tone in literary texts is:

**a It uses words that relate to the five senses to create a specific atmosphere.**

While options b and c also touch on aspects of sensory language, option a more directly connects the use of sensory details to the creation of atmosphere, which is inherently linked to tone. Sensory language can evoke feelings and reactions that shape how the reader perceives the overall tone of the text.
