💡 Detailed Explanation
The woman is expressing her frustration and gloomy feeling ('気が滅入る') about the continuous rain. The best response is one that shows empathy and agreement with her feeling. Answer 1, 'I know, I really wish it would clear up and be sunny soon,' validates her feelings. Answer 2, 'Well, why don't you just buy a dryer?' is a practical but unsympathetic solution. Answer 3, 'But for farmers, it's a welcome rain,' dismisses her personal feelings by pointing out a broader, unrelated positive aspect.
