C, D and E: Pls ignore.
The tone of the sentence needs the contrast. In the sense that something bad had happened but nevertheless, he is working hard. You getting my point.

Thus, my pic is B. But lets see what others have to say about A.
What is OA?

I am tied between A and B as well. I like B because of "his" rather than "the" referring to arm and hand.

I also had B in mind.

But OA seems to be E! I am confused.
