To accurately answer the question based on the sensory imagery in the excerpt, we would need to analyze the specific details provided in that excerpt. However, without the actual text to reference, it would be difficult to determine the correct option directly.
If the sensory imagery suggests that the woman shows signs of fear yet possesses a sense of resolve, then option d ("she is frightened like the others, but she is also determined") might be the most fitting choice.
If the imagery portrays her strength while others are faltering, then option a or c might be more appropriate.
If gratitude is expressed in the imagery, then option b could be valid.
Please provide more context or specific details from the excerpt for a more precise answer.
