Correct Answer: An unexpected event.


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

This idiom is used to describe something that happens suddenly and unexpectedly, often catching people by surprise. A bolt from the blue refers to something that occurs without any warning or prediction, much like a lightning bolt coming from a clear blue sky. Therefore, an unexpected event is the closest and most fitting interpretation of the idiom.
