The correct response is:
by emphasizing the growing unease among the congregation at Mr. Hooper's appearance and the message of his sermon.
This choice effectively captures how the author develops the themes of hidden sin and underlying guilt. Mr. Hooper's black veil symbolizes the hidden sins that the congregation grapples with, and their increasing discomfort reflects their own underlying guilt, as they recognize their inability to confront their own moral failings.
