This subject is particularly interesting because it talks about weather conditions so, i'd be glad if you'd follow it wholeheartedly as we analyse it to see the most valid if the options.
Confusing so far is an understatement in analyzing the statement in Option A because Truthfully, there's not much to be gotten therefrom because it does not seek to infer what the writer wants or meant. It is indeed an INCORRECT option.
Let's get the statement in Option B correctly. It seeks to explain that the use of the second ''was'' here is affirmative in action. Meanwhile, the general statement is all about speculation and not facts. It is of course, an INCORRECT one.
The statement in Option C shows an agreement with the words used. The verbs ''was'' and had'' are both in their past and past participle tenses. The cordiality is what's required to make the option the best so far. It is very CORRECT.
Here, in Option D we look at the length of the statement could behave been written summarily to appear short, brief and succinct yet retaining its originality and meaning . However, it is INCORRECT.
The statement in Option E suggests that the verb ''may'' could have just been made more perfect with a replace in the form of ''might'' to suggest what has occurred in the past. INCORRECT.
