The correct answer is B.

The underlying tone created by the author's word choice is of temptation.

The words "soft," "luxurious," and "glisten" are used to make the stocking appealing, something to be desired. But the phrase "serpent-like" is the one that gives the passage a real sense of temptation: it recalls the serpent that tempted Eve to bite the apple, to give in to desire.
