Answer:

Explanation:

The choices make the answer difficult to settle on.

First of all the meaning. If you have ever dropped a pile of dishes while working in a cafe, you know exactly what it means. It is loud, much louder than the chaos of the noise created by those in the cafe. It startles everyone in there. So it really is a surprise.

It is a bit unappealing, but that is not the fault of the question. It was intended to be unappealing. The answer is not exactly correct. The problem is the figure of speech. You have to try something else. Not D.

Go back to what happened. The noise of dishes dropping is not short. That's the true part of the figure of speech. So don't choose C.

It's not A either. Same reason its not C.

The only answer you can choose is B
