It means sleeping (Option 3).

To slumber is to sleep, to doze, to be in a resting state. In the excerpt, the author uses the verb 'slumbering' (as it is used for living beings) to covey that winter season is inactive, is resting, it will be gone for a while because the spring has arrived now and has become the season protagonist, and nature is an indication of that.

Mkey [24]

The correct answer is D. Correct

Explanation

To write a sentence it is necessary to put into practice textual coherence and cohesion since the order of the words within a sentence can modify the author's intention. Additionally, a sentence is a syntactic unit with complete meaning that is made up of subject (implicit or explicit), verb, and predicate. According to the above, the correct answer is D. Correct, because the sentence is written correctly, it has a subject, verb, and predicate; it has coherence and textual cohesion since it correctly implies what the author wants to say; expresses a complete and clear idea, and the use of the comma is correct because it separates two clauses.
