the answer can also be option d...isn't it?

Question:
DIRECTIONS: In questions below you have brief passages with questions following each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the questions out of the four alternatives.


At low tide he walked over the sands to the headland and round the corner to the little bay facing the open sea. It was inaccessible by boat, because seams of rock jutted out and currents swirled round them treacherously. But you could walk there if you chose one of the lowest ebb tides that receded a very long way. You could not linger on the expedition, for once the tide was on the turn, it came in rapidly. For this reason very few people cared to explore the little bay and the cave at the back of it. But the unknown always drew this man like a magnet. He found the bay fresh and unlittered, as it was completely covered by the sea at high tide. The cave looked mysteriously dark, cool and inviting, and he penetrated to the farthest corner where he discovered a wide crack, rather like a chimney. He peered in and thought he could see a patch of daylight.

He found the bay “fresh and unlittered” because:

Options:
A) the sea water had receded
B) he was the first visitor there
C) the high tide had just washed the litter away
D) it was not frequented by people who would pollute it
Solution:
Ans: (c) The answer is implied in the sixth line of passage.
