Explanation:

Headwind is described as a wind having the opposite general direction to a course of movement (as of an aircraft). Figuratively it also means a force or influence that inhibits progress. Sentence II and III use the given word correctly. But in the first sentence it is grammatically and contextually wrong. It should have been ‘police got wind’ instead of ‘headwind’ to make it correct. Hence option E is the right answer.
