Wing contamination (ice, frost, insects) affects the stall by:

Increasing the critical angle of attack

Reducing CLmax and causing the stall to occur at a lower angle of attack and higher speed

Correct

Having no significant effect

Only increasing drag without affecting stall

Explanation

Surface contamination disrupts airflow, reduces CLmax, and causes flow separation at a lower angle of attack, raising the stall speed.
