Europe's travel industry is suffering as a result of a sluggish economy, a stretch of bad weather, as well as the chilling effects of terrorist activity that is persistent.

(A) as well as the chilling effects of terrorist activity that is persistent
(B) and the chilling effect of terrorist activity that is persistent
(C) but persistent terrorist activity has had a chilling effect too
(D) and the chilling effects of persistent terrorist activity
(E) as well as the chilling effects of terrorist activity that persists

[spoiler]Why not B?[/spoiler] [spoiler]isn't chilling effects (plural) in D not parallel to the singular result and stretch?[/spoiler]

IMO D
(A) as well as the chilling effects of terrorist activity that is persistent
(B) and the chilling effect of terrorist activity that is persistent (not concise and wordier than D, persistent terrorist activity clearly conveys the intended meaning in fewer words)
(C) but persistent terrorist activity has had a chilling effect too
(D) and the chilling effects of persistent terrorist activity (you can't say a chilling effects because effects is plural, so the is correct)
(E) as well as the chilling effects of terrorist activity that persists
Smack is Back ...
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)

IMO D.

D is more concise and clear.

There is no need for parallelism here. 'Cotton prices increased as a result of inflation and taxes'.
as a result of X and Y is the structure here and there is no rule on X/Y should be singular/plural.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
