If you are talking about the question about popular uprisings vs sunspot activity, below are my thought process:

Phenomenon: occurrence of popular uprising & near-maximum sunspot activity
Further observation of the phenomenon:
heavy sunspot activity - sharp rise ions in air - make ppl anxious and irritable
Conclusion: likely sunspot activity is a factor triggering popular uprisings.

Basically, author pointed a correlation of two things and a link of causes/effects to discuss why these two things are correlated and that is one is possibly a factor of causes for another.

The correct answer E demonstrated a correlation between productivity & corner offices with more windows. By providing a casual relationship of "abundant alert light - more alert," it concluded that the great productivity is "probably" "at least in part a result" of the corner offices.

While C also talks about a correlation between cold weather & rise in fuel prices, its casual relationship is more tight (single factor) and direct. Moreover, its conclusion is a prediction instead of explanation of the past/present. If C would be right, the stimulus should conclude as "Therefore if there's a popular uprising next year, it would be a result of the heavy sunspot activity."

Hope this helps
