The best answer is **D** (all of the above).

Each of the quotes contributes to the overall mood of disaster in different ways:
- (a) suggests a contrast between the holiday mood and the impending disaster.
- (b) hints at a sense of unease and foreboding with the mention of "unnatural blackness."
- (c) conveys a sense of urgency and distress, indicating the emotional turmoil of the characters.

Together, they all work to establish a mood related to the disaster.
