Salad days: The period when one is young and inexperienced. Since the first sentence tries to compare a person's behaviour in his old age with that of his 'salad day', the usage of the phrase indicating youth and inexperience becomes appropriate here. In II, the correct idiom will be ‘elbow grease’, meaning 'hard physical work, especially vigorous polishing or cleaning', since it talks about trying to refurbish old patio furniture. In III, the correct idiom will be ‘Cabin-fever’, meaning 'distressing claustrophobic irritability or restlessness experienced when a person, or group, is stuck at an isolated location or in confined quarters for an extended time', since it talks about children being stuck inside due to cold weather. So, the correct answer is A.
