阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。
Conan Doyle became famous for writing stories about Detective Holmes. So he was often asked to settle puzzling problems.
One day, a woman told him a strange story. Her husband had died 5 years before, and a grave had been built for him. The grave was built like this: on the huge stone base was a big stone ball, in the front of which a cross was cut. The ball would move in winter and the cross in the stone hall could hardly seen.
Conan Doyle decided to see how matters stood with the woman. The grave was just like the woman had told him. And nobody could move the stone ball, which was put in a very shallow hole in the stone base. So it couldn't roll off. There was water in the hole, too. He thought for a minute and then said to the woman. “The problem is easy to explain, it's very cold and often rains or snows here. So there is always water in the hole. The water turns into ice at night. During the day, the southern part of the ice in the hole turns into water again while the northern part of it still remains ice, so the stone ball leans southward little by little and the cross in the stone ball moves downwards with the ball.”
