A. External conflict - man vs nature

Explanation:

Tracy is having external conflict (man vs nature).

The rain is a natural occurrence that can't be stopped by Tracy.

Conflict can be defined as a disagreement or difference in interest at a particular period of time. It could be seen that Tracy is interested in planting while the rain doesn't want to stop anytime soon, thereby, restricting Tracy from going out to plant. Both Tracy and the rain are both interested in different things at the same time leading to a disagreement.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

i also think it is d (sorry if it's not)
