The correct answer is C. Jaideep felt a strange calm as he stared out the window at the trees twisting in the storm.

This description creates the strongest contrast between the setting and the character's mood because a storm with twisting trees is associated with feelings of fear, darkness, chaos, unease and intensity. Jaideep feeling a sense of calm looking at the storm is the opposite of the setting's mood.
