Answer:
Three of us. We were the only ones left, the only ones to make it to the island. After cold nights on the sea, we had finally reached our destination only a few of us surviving. I couldn't fathom how we had even gotten here in the first place but then again I can't recall anything that's been going on with me lately. How did I even get here? What even is my name? I have no idea.... I have lost most of my memories and I have no idea why. When my feet first touched the scorching sand I looked around there were 5 of us. Now I can't seem to find any of them...Were they all just a made-up imagination of mine? Is this all just a dream? I have no idea but I'm fearing for my life as my feet have started to sink into what I believe is quicksand.

Option C and D are incorrect because they are not ideas or claims but arguments in support of the central idea/claim.
I would go with answer D. Answer C is pretty good too but I would do D.
