When I think of Gothic, I don't think of anything positive, so A would definitely not be it. The same thing with B. Anything with beautiful, sparkling, bright and colourful things just doesn't scream goth.
For C, I could see where it would be going with using a jail yard as a setting, but since the answer specifically says on a sunny afternoon, then I don't think that would be correct either. When people think sunny, they usually think happy.
I think D would be most accurate. It doesn't seem like it would have any positive attributes, and it would probably even make some people uneasy.
