How can I address a "0" for a sample work grade?

To address a "0" for a sample work grade, the best option would be:

**d. if you pass the final draft, the "0" for a Sample Work will be dropped.**

This option suggests that your future performance (in this case, passing the final draft) can positively impact your overall grade by allowing the "0" to be removed, which is generally a constructive approach to dealing with a low grade.
