I practiced a similar question, and I think D is definitely the best example since natural disasters are classic cases of force majeure.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like C might be more about legal issues rather than force majeure.

I remember discussing how a breakdown or late delivery doesn’t count as force majeure, so A seems wrong.

I think force majeure is about unforeseen events, so I’m leaning towards D with the hurricane.
