"would be" countenance them for a moment ...i think thats incorrect
We just need "would"
i am not 100% sure , but "carried into effect" is the proper usage...

B is correct. NEITHER and EITHER are used for two things if we employ them as pronouns: Neither of the twins is here because either is stupid. If we employ NEITHER as a conjuction, then the construction [NEITHER...NOR...NOR...NOR...] is OK, as is [EITHER...OR...OR...].

"B". "On effect" is not idiomatic, which rules out "A". As for other choices, "would" is correct usage as compared with "would be" and it leaves "B" as the only choice.
One more for B. But I'm still a little confused about whether or not neither-nor can be used for more than two things. Can someone please clarify this for me? Thanks.

Eg XYZ can either be X or Y or Z
XYZ can neither be A nor B nor C.
