The issues:

1. "One of the NOUNS" is correct. --> Eliminate D and E.

2. "Way to do something" is more fluid than "way that do".

Example:
The principal way to solve the problem is to make a good formula.

--> Eliminate C.

3. Most sure, easy, and least are not parallel in degrees. All of them should be in superlative degree. --Eliminate B.

Answer is A.

Yes it is A but I am doubting A too

one of the easiest way or is it ways?

superlative is unique in number. How can there be many superlative ways?
