Shouldn't the answer be B?
Because it can be such that the players did well and that's why people expected them to do well even in the Olympics.
Correct me if I am wrong.

first, I thought that the answer should be 'D' but then I noticed the word "expectation" in the first statement so now I think that 'E' is correct.
As the players played well in the last Olympics the expectation was high this time.

Explanation would be:
As players played well their performance in asian games is improved compared to last years which raised the expectation of public and players performed the same in olympics but as the level is different in olympics the could not won as many medals as they won in asian games.
Therefore common cause.
