1."It"(b)
We use 'it' as a dummy subject to talk about the weather. 'It is snowing' is the standard pattern.
2."There"(a)
We use 'there is' to say that something exists in a place. 'It is a supermarket' would need more context (e.g. answering 'What is that building?').
3."It"(c)
We use 'it' as a dummy subject to talk about distance. 'It is 200 km from A to B' is a fixed pattern.
4."It"(d)
We use 'it' as a formal (dummy) subject when the real subject is an infinitive phrase ('to eat breakfast'). 'It is important to...' is a common pattern.
5."It"(a)
We use 'it' to describe general conditions like light and darkness. 'It was dark' is natural English.
