"The Pedestrian"

After Leonard tells the police that he does not own a viewing screen, the story states, “There was a crackling quiet that in itself was an accusation.”

Question: What can you infer from that line of the text?

A. Leonard isn't worried about being honest with the police car

B. The police car finds this information to be interesting and kind of comical

C. The police car is concerned about this information and even views it as wrong

D. Leonard doesn't know what to say next to the police car

I'm stumped. I've narrowed it down to options B and C, but can't figure it out. If you could help, I'd appreciate it. : )
