Explanation:

This phrase comes from O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi, describing Della after crying about her lack of money for a Christmas gift. "Sniffles predominating" means her sniffling (a leftover effect of crying) was the main action, indicating she had been crying more than any other action like laughing. The cold-related option is a literal misinterpretation, and laughing more contradicts the context.

Answer:

She was crying more than laughing
