Answer:

b. Words that appeal to the five senses

Step-by-step explanation:

"Sensory" refers to something transmitted or perceived by either of our five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste or touch); a sensory language, then, is one that uses descriptive words that evoke pictures or ideas in our minds that appeal to the five senses, such as the description of the valley that appeals to our sight "white water, azaleas, cool fir caverns, tall pines and stolid oaks, cliffs rising to undreamed-of heights."

This type of language is also known as 'Imagery' and is often employed to make literary works more meaningful, interesting and memorable.
