I believe in the sentence it's written - "ceremony... such as..spring season.." this indicates that such an event can happen, but it hasn't already happened, and hence A is out as in A, the past tense used shows the event had already happened.

May be it's (D) because of "an" before "unusual". This article signals that there is a particular but not specified event that happens from time to time.
