A. On B. During C. For

Could any native help make the right choice? I especially cannot make a choice between B and C.

thanks.

Why can't I use A to refer to "on that particular day."?

Since we can say for the next few days, why can't I say "for the day" to express "for a certain period of time"?

Thanks so much.
