The writer of the article warns the reader of something that happens after every seventeen years and that is the appearance of the Cicadas. It can be an overwhelming experience when the Cicadas appear from all corners, taking over the environment.
People who do not like bugs might find the emergence of these bugs overwhelming and that is why the writer warns them to watch out for the Cicadas.
C) Pitchers threw at his head.
This line "Pitchers through at his head." uses the incorrect "through". This "through" means to go in and out of something, like a doorway. I walked through the doorway into the other room. The sentence needs the "threw" that means to take an object with your hand and propel it to another location. Threw is the past tense of the word throw. It is an irregular past tense verb, so it doesn't follow the rule of adding /ed/ to create past tense.
