Correct Answer: get extreme cold
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The phrase "get extreme cold" in the sentence is not grammatically accurate as extremely should be used in place of extreme to convey the intended meaning of the sentence. It is an adverb and is modifying the adjective "cold", which depicts that it can get very cold during the winter.
The correct sentence is: "It can get extremely cold during the winter."
