Answer 2

The correct answer is C) The skilled photographer shot a massive oak tree, using the scarlet sunset as an incredible background.

Sensory details are such details that appeal to your senses. They create imagery in a text, use descriptive words to create powerful images, so detailed that a reader can vividly imagine the picture before his or her very own eyes. This is what happens in sentence C - the descriptions are very detailed because they use the most sensory details.
