B ~ the use of this technology... has been no less noteworthy than the invention of the internet.

What was as noteworthy as the invention of the internet has been the use of this technology to democratize, to a degree hitherto considered impossible, access to information.
(A) What was as noteworthy as the invention of the internet
(B) No less noteworthy than the invention of the internet
(C) The thing that was as noteworthy as developing the internet
(D) Developing the internet has been none the less noteworthy than
(E) Invention of the internet has been no less noteworthy as
Explanation:
The original underlined sentence has a major grammatical error that it uses 'what' which makes it the subject in the first clause. But as per the intended meaning of the sentence, the use of technology should be the subject. Hence option A introduces a meaning error through its construction. Also here a comparison is made between something that is 'no less noteworthy' and 'the invention of the internet'.
(A) What was as noteworthy as the invention of the internet
As explained above, INCORRECT
(B) No less noteworthy than the invention of the internet
This option correctly uses the subject construction as well as the comparison which maintains the intended meaning of the original sentence. CORRECT
(C) The thing that was as noteworthy as developing the internet
Awkward use of 'the thing' here. Also the use of simple past here changes the intended meaning of the sentence. Something was as noteworthy as developing the internet has been the use of. This is completely incorrect way of using tenses here. INCORRECT
(D) Developing the internet has been none the less noteworthy than
Use of present perfect twice while comparing in the same phrase is wrong. Also it completely changes the intended meaning of the sentence. INCORRECT
(E) Invention of the internet has been no less noteworthy as
Similar error as in option D. Also it completely changes the intended meaning of the sentence. INCORRECT
