Which one do you believe is correct?

Answer 2

@Whitemonsterbunny17 It implies a near tragic event.

Answer 3

B makes sense but I think C makes more sense. hence the "to right and left and rear", the cries are coming from every direction.

Answer 4

The keywords are "right and left and rear drew closer"
