Ans should be B

It can be used without a proper referent in reference to time and weather

for e.g.

It is pleasant today.
It is raining outside.
It is 3:00 PM already.

another thing to remember.

When ever you see do it and do so, the Q is testing do it vs do so

do so is correct and do it is always wrong
