I felt the wall of the tunnel shiver. The master alarm squealed through my earphones. Almost simultaneously, Jack yelled down to me that there was a warning light on. Fleeting but spectacular sights snapped into ans out of view, the snow, the shower of debris, the moon, looming close and big, the dazzling sunshine for once unfiltered by layers of air. The last twelve hours before re-entry were particular bone-chilling. During this period, I had to go up in to command module. Even after the fiery re-entry splashing down in 81o water in south pacific, we could still see our frosty breath inside the command module.

There are several indicators in the passage that point out that the passage "perhaps' deals with a journey into outer space. The author describes the 'fleeting and spectacular sights' snapping in and out. This indicates a vehicle moving at an unimaginable speed. So it cannot be a journey.
The author speaks of 'command module', 're-entry', 'splashing down. The pacific' etc. All these words are associated with the 'return' of a space ship to earth. Therefore the word 'perhaps'. The absence of any action between characters shows that options A and B and D are incorrect.

So it cannot be option c.
So it cannot be option c.
