D Correct answer
Explanation

Too implies a negative result. Very implies a positive result. “Too cold” would be correct if the weather were to be rendered unsuitable for a purpose. Example: It is too cold to go out today. Unless the unsuitability is borne out, the usage will remain “very cold”, which indicates only the intensity, not the unsuitability.
