Hi mukherjee.tanuj3,
This SC comes down to a few grammar rules:
1) Modifiers: "increasingly" vs. "increasing" - the correct modifier "increasingly" should be used to modify the phrase "cold weather." Eliminate A and B.
2) Idiom: the word "speculation" is followed by the word "that." Eliminate D.
3) Verbs: the prompt describes an event that happened in the past and how it may have affected something else.
Between C and E, answer C is clunky and includes the redundant word "what" (which is a clunky pronoun that is unnecessary). Answer E uses simple past tense language and is correct.
Final Answer: E
