Baking for winter holidays is tradition that may have a sound medical basis. In midwinter, when days are short, many people suffer from a specific type of seasonal depression caused by lack of sunlight. Carbohydrates, both sugars and starches, boost the brain‖s levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is re-sponsible for determining mood. In this respect, carbohydrates act on the brain in the same way as some antidepressants do. Thus, eating holiday cookies may be an effective remedy for winter depression.

as of my understanding
(A) Seasonal depression is one of the most easily treated forms of depression.// no idea of other seasons
(B) Lack of sunlight lowers the level of serotonin in the brain.// no idea as we dont know the level in which a person is exposed to sunlight like summer also u can be inside as correct parameters are not given cannot infer
(C) People are more likely to be depressed in midwinter than at other times of the year.//no data of other times of yr to compare
(D) Some antidepressants act by changing the brain’s level of serotonin. best fit
(E) Raising the level of neurotransmitters in the brain effectively relieves depression.// actually i guess raising the level of of serotonin
hope this helps
