I would rule out the answers containing "as remarkable as", since they change the original meaning of the sentence (B and E) and also "no less remarkable as" is grammatically incorrect, which leaves A and D. I would also rule out D, because it should be no less remarkable than, which levaes me with Asal_xcool wrote:No less remarkable than the invention of nuclear power has been the way the technology has prompted governments to reevaluate the nature of international relations
