Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a technique is used to warn or predict future events.

Based on the passage, the people were marching towards a house and on their way, they were almost transformed to a mob until they are stopped by their leader who tells them that they should not turn to a mob and stops them from stampeding.

The option D is correct because it uses foreshadowing to show that they seemed to think about the  consequences of their actions should they turn to a mob, then they moved much more quietly and slowly.
