Answer:

I believe the best answer to be "Andy squinted in the darkness and walked headlong into the rain."

Step-by-step explanation:

Every option offered makes it clear that it is raining. However, the question has asked us to find the one that shows it is a dark and stormy night through action. That is precisely what the third option does:

Andy squinted in the darkness and walked headlong into the rain.

The action of squinting makes it clear that darkness surrounds Andy. The night is not only dark, though, but also stormy, since Andy walks headlong into the rain. The verbs "squint" and "walk", combined with the nouns "darkness" and "rain" express, through action, that it is a dark and stormy night.
