Wow ... I can see how these are tricky. It all comes down to [like the question asks] grammar.

(a) should be correctly written as

"Glimmering sun and crashing surf has a soothing affect on me.

(NOT effect)

(b) ... this is just a run-on. too many errors in this one.

(c) should be

"the Curtains, soft and white, were billowing in the breeze.

(NOT was - this is the wrong past tense)

(d) This one seems to be the best answer ...

Good luck!
