The verb tense used in the passage is A. Past tense.
The past tense is used to refer to events that happened in the past and also finished in the past. The excerpt has most of the verbs in the past tense forms. For example, "saw" is the past tense of the verb "see", "coiled" is the past tense of the verb "coil" and "wriggled" is the past form of the verb "wriggle".
