- Sentence B refers to being struck by "lightning," which is the natural electrical discharge, correctly using the term.

- Sentence C incorrectly uses "lightning" to describe the dress. The word should be "lightening," which refers to making something brighter or more illuminated.

- Option 1 (Only A) is incorrect as both A and B use the word correctly.

- Option 2 (Only B) is incorrect, sentence A is also correct.

- Option 3 (Only C) is incorrect as C uses "lightning" incorrectly.

- Option 4 (Both A and B) is correct because both sentences appropriately use "lightning."

- Option 5 (Both B and C) is incorrect since C is not accurate.
