Solution
The correct option is
E
Prodigious
Prodigious means remarkably or impressively great in extent, size, or degree.
In the sentence also it is said that the comet while traveling near the sun produced dust much more than the comets Halley or Hyakutake
The best answer suitable is Prodigious.
The other options are not relevant to the sentence like Option A here means great enthusiasm or a large amount of food
Options B, C, and D are also wrong as the meaning is not correctly fitted to the sentence.
Hence E is the correct answer.
