Answer 1

Hi! I might need your source/place you read the text from to help you with this. But make sure that you are reading the text in a fashion that would show what the character is saying.

So an example:

The drear of the raven-winged night swirled around _character_ in a mass of flying feathers, encircling him in incredulous darkness.

So if this story were to be about a person who lost a family member/loved one, and possibly were visiting their grave site/place of memorial, maybe D would work. It depends though. :)
