Explanation:

Correct Answer is (a).Sentence I. He dumped the rest of his coffee in the sink and left the room.
Here sink means: a basin as in a kitchen and its usage is correct.
Sentence II. The water in the lake sank several feet during the long, dry summer.
Here the word sank (past tense)means to fall, drop, or descend gradually to a lower level. It is a verb and its usage is correct.
Sentence III. The captain said that the feeling of winning the world cup took a while to sink in.
Here sink in is a phrasal verb and it means: (of words, sentiments) be fully understood or realized. Its usage is also correct.
Clearly, option E is the correct answer.
