Yes, the answer is C. One of the characters hearing something that sounds like a bear in the brush would intensify the suspense in this story.

To find the answer, you need to analyze which event would increase the sense of danger and uncertainty for the characters.

Option A, where the characters hear a bird singing in the distance, does not add to the suspense as it does not create a sense of danger or urgency.

Option B, where one of the characters finds an extra energy bar in her backpack, may add a sense of relief or temporary comfort, but it does not increase the suspense as the characters are still lost in the mountains.

Option C, where one of the characters hears something that sounds like a bear in the brush, adds a significant level of suspense. Hearing a potential dangerous predator nearby would raise the stakes and make the characters fear for their safety.

Option D, where the characters manage to find a small shelter, provides a sense of temporary safety and relief, which does not increase the suspense as the characters are no longer in immediate danger at that moment.

Therefore, the answer C is correct as it intensifies the suspense in the story.
