Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrasal verb **"come up"** means to arise, be mentioned, or become available. It can also indicate that an event or opportunity has appeared.

2. Sentence (A) correctly uses "come up" to indicate that the issue of parking spaces was brought up or arose during the meeting.

3. Sentence (B) also uses "come up" properly to describe an opportunity that became available, prompting the decision to apply for the job.

4. Sentence (C) is incorrect because it implies a literal and factually impossible event — the sun does not rise in the west.
