Explanation
"Continuously" means without interruption in time; "continually" means repeatedly with intervals. "It rained continuously for three hours" (option D) correctly uses "continuously" for an unbroken spell. Options A, B and C use "continuously" where "continually" (repeatedly) is meant. Hence option D.
