Which of the following BEST defines tone in literature?

Tone is the attitude of the story-teller when telling a story

Explanation:

The tone of the story is the attitude and the expressing atmosphere that the story describes and narrates. It is the way the author sets their attitude and expresses the emotion when telling or writing the story. The author has to take some position towards the subject and audience, and that is how the certain tone is composed.

The tone is usually not explicitly stated – it is defined by the implications, usage of words, metaphors, settings, and characters. Through the tone, the author tries to evoke certain emotions of the readers and sets their outlooks as well.
