The correct answer is A.

"The harrowing of hell" is a doctrine of Christian theology that refers to the victorious descent of Jesus into Hell to save all the righteous people who died since the beginning of the world.

Therefore, when "a mighty One," meaning Jesus Christ, goes down to rescue holy people such a Noah, Abraham and David, the Harrowing of hell is taking place.
