The grammar in this diaglouge is very bad, so I would think the speaker is either poorly educated, or English isn't his first language, so I would say answer B.

it couldn't have been worse! When I was in high school, I had a huge crush on Jane. She was smart, fun, and beautiful, inside and out! It happened one rainy day, just after I finished taking an AP exam. Jane, who was waiting for me outside the class, told me that she wanted to go on a date.I was thrilled, of course! So, after I put on my new clothes, I called her up. When I dialed her number, I wasn't sure if I was correct. However, I had checked the number, which is the same as what I had put in the keypad. So, I waited. I waited some more. Because the of the heavy rain, I was now soaking wet. My new clothes, which consisted of a new striped cardigan, white buttoned shirt, and new denim jeans, were ruined. I looked like a hobo, who went to a party, but was kicked out due to being poor. Just when I was about to hang up, Jane answered. "I hope that you won't mind if I'm a few minutes late," she said, as she apologize in advance and hang up. It was at that moment, that I realized of the new recent change in time: Daylight Savings!
