The correct answer is also A) to indicate an abrupt shift in idea. Dashes can be used to interrupt the flow of a sentence and add emphasis or provide additional information. They can be used to set off a phrase or clause that is not grammatically essential to the sentence, and indicate a sudden change in thought or tone.
