Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The correct word is “it”.
In English, “it” is used as a dummy subject for weather, time, temperature, and other natural conditions. The sentence needs this neutral subject: “It is raining …”.
Example: “It is very hot today.” / “It is raining outside.”
“Presumably” means “probably” or “as is likely, though not certain,” so the speaker expects the match to be canceled because of the rain.
