Correct Answer: She missed the exam as she felt under the weather.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : The idiom under the weather is a common expression used to describe a person who is feeling unwell or sick. It does not have a literal connection to weather conditions but is a metaphor for someone experiencing illness. The third option correctly uses the idiom to convey that the person missed the exam because she was not feeling well.

Therefore, the right answer is: "She missed the exam as she felt under the weather."
