Both the oil minister’s advice that inventory of heating oil be marked up to meet an impending severe winter as well as the speculation that a major unit may close for a long time due to a major accident, helped heating oil prices surge to record levels last week in the world oil markets

Clearly Option C is an answer
First of all "Advice" always take infinitive hence subjunctive construction in option A and B is wrong.
Now we are left with option C, D, and E
Option E contains redundancy since it contains both may and probably, which have similar meanings ...hence option E is out.
In option D...... use of "as well as" is wrong since the correct idiom is both X and Y ...also "speculation of a major unit probably closing for a long time due to a major accident" is an awkward construction.
Now we are remain with option C in which infinitive is correctly used after advice, also correctly used Both X and Y idiom ...hence the answer
daagh

Kudos for a great question.
I will go with C here. (took me more than 2.5 min)
both ...as well as... is wrong = Eliminate A and D
advice that ...be... does not sound correct = eliminate B
E has may probably = redundancy.
