A. The dark sky, filled with angry, swirling clouds, reflected Greg Ridley's mood as he sat on the stoop of his building.

This is the best answer as it directly says that the dark sky and "angry, swirling clouds, reflected Greg Ridley's mood". This shows that Greg is feeling dark and angry. The other options give reasons why Greg may be in a poor mood, but they don't actually say that he is feeling upset or resentful. Option D is not complete, but from the beginning of it, we also do not see any evidence of his mood.
