A. The fishing fleet comes back.

From the text:

They floated a while, then they began to grow, tiny gulls becoming boats again, a white armada cruising toward us. “They’re coming back,” my mother said.

There was no explanation. No one had ever seen anything like this before. We watched and waited, and when the boats were still about half a mile off the lighthouse, a fellow from the cannery came running down to the wharf shouting that the Japanese had just bombed Pearl Harbor.
