Explanation:

To determine the correct definition of imagery, we analyze each option:

• The first option describes "mood" (the emotional atmosphere of a literary work).
• The second option describes "theme" (the central message or lesson).
• The third option: Imagery involves descriptive language that creates mental images appealing to the senses (sight, sound, touch, etc.). This matches the definition of imagery.
