Option D all the way! Although I heard the hurricane was caused by the supplier's overuse of air conditioning in the factory.

Wait, the supplier is under criminal investigation? I think that's a whole different kind of 'force' at play here.

You know, if the hurricane had hit the supplier's factory during happy hour, that would have been a real force majeure.
