I would say that the sentence which uses a vocabulary word wrong is C) The melancholy scene brought a chill cadence to the back of my neck. Cadence is a rhythm, or a sequence of notes.
The melancholy scene brought a chill cadence to the back of my neck. -incorrectly uses a vocabulary word (cadence).
The word "cadence" makes reference to the rhythm in the flow of sounds and words. When referring to a voice, it may mean the falling or rising in pitch, hence a melancholy scene cannot cause a "chill cadence." So that, option C is the one that uses a word incorrectly.
