    Correct Answer
    A. They were on a camping trip and were hiking.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "They were on a camping trip and were hiking." This is indicated by the phrase "They were on a camping trip," which suggests that the Palmer family had planned a trip to the woods for camping.
