I think the answer should be (C) because the interval should be in between something.

OA?

Because Halley's comet changes orbit.... <options> close to Earth,
Because Halley's comet changes orbit option C/option E close to Earth,
Because Halley's comet changes orbit as it passes close to Earth,

I find E a better pick as compared to C. Can anyone explain the other way
This time no looking back!!!
