Eruption (noun): the act of starting suddenly and violently.

Commencement (noun): the beginning of something.

Inception (noun): the establishment or starting point of an institution or activity.

The use of ‘commencement’ and ‘inception’ is contextually absurd while verb ‘explode’ is also wrong as we need only a noun after ‘weather’. Now, between ‘eruption’ and ‘outbreak’, ‘weather outbreak’ makes an apt noun phrase as per the context. Thus, ‘outbreak’ is a better choice.

Option C, "thought-provoking showcase," is incorrect, as it only describes the nature of the exhibit, but not whether it was successful or not. Option D, "controversial failure," is also incorrect, as it implies that the exhibit was not successful, which is contradictory to the rest of the sentence.
