Solution”
Parallelism + Idioms
In C, D, and E, “threaten to” (idiomatic) should have been used. Hence, these choices are incorrect.
In A, action of “threatening to warm” of 'Tiny quantities of more than thirty rare gases' is compared to 'carbon dioxide'. Hence, A is incorrect. “Will” must be added before “the next fifty years” in order to correct the error.
In B, the error in A is rectified and parallelism is maintained and hence, B is the best choice.
