C Correct answer
Explanation

The definite article 'the' is used because 'lights' refers to specific lights - likely the lights in the room where they were having dinner. The context implies particular, identifiable lights rather than lights in general. 'The lights went off' is a common expression for when electrical illumination fails in a specific location.
