Which setting detail advances the action of the scene?

O "Picnic blankets adorn the grass, and children are happily eating slices of watermelon as adults watch
nonchalantly."
O "Two adults sit on a bench with their eyes closed and their faces tilted upward."
O "He climbs down onto the blanket with the kids and makes himself comfortable."
O "Then the sky darkens, and a loud splattering of rain begins to fall."

The setting describing the darkening of the sky and the loud splattering sound of the beginning of the rain functions to signal the progressing action of the scene. It functions to indicate to the readers that things will not remain as merry as a picnic sight has to be. The sound of rain and dark sky breaks the enjoyment, calmness, and relaxing environment of the day and symbolizes that something fierce is approaching. This prepares the readers for an onset storm and hence, option D is the correct answer.
