Explanation:

Suspense is the state of mental uncertainty, when the listener or readers have no idea of what will happen in the next scenes. This literary technique provides a feeling of 'thrill', a want, an eagerness to see what will enfold in the next scenes.

The given choices in the question shows how Jonah had tried to deceive God in His orders of going to preach to the people of Nineveh. The feeling of suspense can be best seen in the sentence where he disobeyed God and boarded a ship bound for Tarshish, a city in the opposite side of Nineveh. The suspense is created when he disobeyed and went in the opposite way, trying to run away from his work.
