B. ,and they won
C. which won them.

My answer is " A"
Yes, that seems to be the best of the choices.

2. Hunches, coming into two kinds, the good and the bad.

A. First option is same.
B. Hunches, come into two kinds: the good and the bad.
C. Hunches, the good and the bad, come into two kinds.

My answer is "B".
OK, but the comma should be removed after 'Hunches'.

3. With the increase in food prices, and the people with fixed income are in difficult situation.
A. With the increase in food prices, and the people with fixed income are in difficult situation.
B. With the increase in food prices, people with fixed income are in difficult situation.
C. Food prices being what they are, people with fixed income are being in difficult situation.

The original sentence is incorrect. B is the best correction.
