The correct option is B (the wind on the hilltop howled so loudly that the clergy could not hear themselves sing)

Explanation:

The first Salisbury Cathedral was finished at Old Sarum in 1092 under Osmund, the main Bishop of Salisbury. The Domesday Book is thought to have been introduced to William the Conqueror at Old Sarum a couple of years sooner, in 1086.

Military disputes and water scarcity supplies prompted an elective area being looked for and in 1220 another site for the Cathedral was sanctified at New Sarum.
