Split 1 - When at a time \ at a time when.
Split 2 - that \ of
Split 3 - there could be a threat \ could be threatened
At a time is when is the correct modifier.
So A, D and E are out
Between B and C, B uses such as which is not required as time is not an example here. The meaning is that the Cashmere goats are threatened at a time when their their numbers are already low.
Hence C is the answer
