The answer is A: Aiden's body froze like an icicle and his heart pounded as he peered over the railing at the top of the skyscraper.

Explanation:

A. "Froze like an icicle" and "heart pounded" use strong connotations to evoke a sense of fear. The imagery of freezing suggests being paralyzed by fear, and a pounding heart indicates intense anxiety.

B. "Stiffened" and "heartbeat sped up" are more neutral and less vivid, lacking the strong emotional impact of fear.

C. "Stilled" and "heart beat loudly" are less intense and do not convey the same level of fear as option A.

D. "Became tense" and "heart beat rapidly" suggest nervousness but are not as evocative or vivid as the imagery in option A.
