Solution

The correct option is C It's a good thing I was wearing my boots.
The context refers to a type III conditional sentence. It indicates a situation which is impossible to fill as it refers to the past.
"It's a pity I didn't wear my boots" in option A is incorrect as it implies that I wasn't wearing my boots, although the context has clearly mentioned that I was wearing my boots otherwise I would have been sick.
"It's pity I wore my boots" in option B is incorrect as it is grammatically incorrect.
"It's a good thing I was wearing my boots" in option C is correct as it follows the context and connects with the preceding sentence. The implication here is that I am not sick and it's a good thing as I was wearing my boots.
"It's a good thing I didn't wear my boots" in option D is incorrect as the context indicates that I was wearing my boots.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
