(E) atmosphere as affects

Why E is incorrect?
What's the role of "as" in this sentence?

Thank you!

Hello Sneha2021,

Here are my two cents on your query. :)

In Choice E, the word "affects" is a verb. But what is the subject of this verb? None. Also, the role of "as" is not clear in this choice. We cannot really say what its function is here.

Hope this helps. :)
Thanks.

We cannot use 'as' here. It makes no sense and hence (E) is incorrect.
The verb 'affects' needs a clause ('that clause' is provided in options (A) and (C))
Option (A) works because 'interactions' affect global climate.
Option (C) uses an essential modifier with atmosphere (atmosphere that affects ...) as if there are other types of atmosphere too!
