选C没有错.
原句是要说:【有位学者提出,上一个冰期生活在欧洲的尼安德特人可能面临的挑战并不比今天生活在北极地区的因纽特人更严峻】
A和原文错在比较的对象是challenges - the Inuit People,而实际上要比较的是尼安德特人面临的“挑战”和因纽特人面临的“挑战”;
B只是把形容词做定语换成了定语从句,E只是调整了语序,但它们都和A的意思是一样的;
D的意思是尼安德特人面临的挑战不必“面临因纽特人”更艰巨.
只有C清晰地表达了“尼安德特人面对的挑战”不比“因纽特人面对的挑战”更严峻的意义.
选C应当是正确的。因为C中的by正确地表达了challenge和后面接的Inuit people的关系。更重要的是,those正确地表述了比较的一致性(比较的是同一类事物)。它指代的是those challenges,与前文的challenges对应。而其它部分也没有问题。
