E Correct answer
Explanation

Wretch is a scoundrel, which is what this person has been. There is no retching or throwing up. Fir is a tree; fur is an animal skin. If there is vomiting, the inference or connotation may be that of a case of food poisoning. Freeze is harden or solidify by cold; frieze is interior decoration.
