The impact of the author's choice of words in the line "He reeled, he lurched, he bobbed, he checked;" is primarily A. It creates a sense of Brown's uncontrolled motions. The verbs used convey a lack of stability and control, illustrating Brown's struggle to maintain his balance and composure, which enhances the imagery of chaos and disorientation in the action described.
