Explanation

'A flash in the pan' refers to something or someone that shows initial promise or excitement but quickly fails to sustain success. Option A correctly identifies this meaning of looking good initially but failing in the end. The phrase originates from flintlock firearms where the powder might flash in the pan without firing the shot. Options B and C focus too literally on the words themselves.
