I was not too sure about the answer but I was able to eliminate the others...
E) - Sally's broken anjle meant she didn't go to school that day. - question does not say that she did not go to school. Maybe she went to school after treatment?

D. Sally broke her ankle because she went to bed late the previous night - She just got up late. Not given that she went to bed late

B. Sally' friend visited her in the hospital because she anted to know why she as late for school. - question says the friend wanted to why she had got up late not why she was late to school

C - Sally broke her ankle - because she tripped --->because she ran and didnt see the hole ---> she ran because she was late ----> she was late because she over slept
