Even though many people say that fasting helps reduce fat, in reality it is observed that the more the gap between the meals is, the more is the probability of accumulating fat.

Answer lies in the non-underlined portion of the sentence.
"Probability" is an uncountable numeric entity. Thus, we need to use "greater" not "more" to refer to it. This split alone leaves us with choices (C) and (E). Rest of the choices use "more" to depict probability of an event, thus incorrect. Note here, "gap" also is an uncountable numeric entity. "gap" here refers to a time-period, which is a numeric entity. And though "gap" in itself is uncountable, just as "probability" is (you can't say 1 gaps, 2 gaps, or 1 probability, 2 probabilities etc), it is referring to an actual numeric entity, and thus takes "greater" rather than "more". "more" is used with "uncountable nouns" that do not refer to a numeric entity.
Between (C) and (E), what does "they" refer to? "They" is a pronoun that has no clear antecedent, thus (C) is incorrect. (E) removes this ambiguity by using "placeholder it". "Placeholder it" does not need to refer to any noun.
Thus, (E) is the clear winner.
