The correct answer is **c a plot device increases tension**.

In the story, the underlying conflict between the two characters is emphasized by their avoidance of communication while changing the tire, and the introduction of the red car and its driver exacerbates the existing tension. The argument about the driver suggests unresolved feelings, and the moment of eye contact heightens the emotional stakes, contributing to a sense of tension between the characters.
