解説 · Why
ことごとく means "every single one / entirely", typically with plural things (often failing or differing): 予想が ことごとく 外れる. It is not a general intensifier.
誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
きょうはことごとくいい天気だ。 — To intensify use 非常に; ことごとく is not a degree adverb.
このスープはことごとくおいしい。 — Taste is not modified by ことごとく.
駅までことごとく近い。 — Distance is not described with ことごとく.
