I could probably argue the correctness of any of the four...

There are 3 correct answers possible, depending on the context of the sentence. Only option C is wrong. Snow is uncountable thus you don�t say "A snow....."

As snow covered the ground like a white carpet, even "some" does not really work as only a lot of snow can do that..  A and D seem more plausible. 
Together with an adjective, C could also work.  Example, A deep/dense/ ... (layer of ) snow covered ..... .
It�s interesting!:)
