You are correct with D. Knowing the part of speech the word is being used in can definitely help with knowing which definition to look at. Context clues, restatement or contrast, can both help. Think of if I used the word gloomy, and you didn't know what that meant, I could put in contrast context clues such as:
It was a gloomy, dull day. The clouds hovering above, the sun nowhere in sight. 'It looks like it's going to rain. Guess I won't be going outside today.

Could you mostly figure out what gloomy means based on that? Probably
