Although OA is C, but I will go for E. Does anyone agree
No, E is not the correct answer. Inserting answer E into the sentence gives:
"Responding to the public’s fascination with-and sometimes undue alarm over-possible threats from asteroids, astronomers have developed a scale that rates the likelihood of a particular asteroid or comet that may.collide with Earth."
The astronmers' scale in this sentence rates the likelihood of a collision; using answer choice E, it rates the likelihood of an 'asteroid or comet', which doesn't make sense. Answer C makes clear what the scale measures.
