Answer:

I too believe the best option to be letter D) to convey the feeling of the freezing harshness of the winter weather.

Explanation:

This excerpt was taken from "The Invisible Man", written by author H.G. Wells. It is common for writers to use figurative language instead of making direct statements when they wish to describe something or someone. In this case, Wells chose to attribute characteristics to the wind and to the snow of the wintry day. The adjective he chose to describe the wind is "biting". The author wishes us to feel the harshness of the wind, how strong and menacing it is. As for the snow, the adjective employed is "driving". That means the snow is falling rapidily and, as we know, that can be dangerous for someone who is outdoors. We may conclude that the first sentence of the excerpt intends to convey the feeling of the freezing harshness of the winter weather.
