I also have a doubt between A and B

I am unable to figure out what seeming is modifying over here.
But still if given choice i would have gone with B.

First check it out for Which usage.....it is correct because which modifies Nouns and here Germany is Noun...
Next As vs Like

Here it should be As as it follows a Clause......

Next Adverb or Adjective

Seeming/seemingly lesser evils

evils= Noun
Lesser= Adjective
No Seem should be an adverb i.e seemingly.......

So the answer is B......

OA plzzzz

You cannot modify adjectives with other adjectives, only with adverbs. Seeming is an adjective, seemingly an adverb.
