Please bear with me, is it A?
No.
What is the subject and verb of that sentence?
The subject is day and I think the verb is passed, because passed is a action.
I think the answer would be C.
Yes! The subject and verb are

The adverb is slowly. It tells HOW the day PASSED. Also -- many adverbs end in -ly.
