Which of the following settings would best create the mood for a suspenseful story

I mean you would have to provide the setting options but it would be anything eerie like a pysch hospital or a creepy cottage in the woods or an abandoned haunted town.

c hydrophobia is the answer

third person

explanation:

note the usage of names and pronouns, "james" & "the old man". this alone can confirm it as third person, as first person uses "i" and the like, while second person uses "you" and the like.
