Version Created Via Using C: So called green taxes, which exact a price for the use of polluting or nonrenewable fuels, are having a positive effect on the environment and natural resource base of countries
as varied as those of China, the Netherlands, and Hungary.
"resource base of countries as varied as those of China" does not make sense, as "those" can only refer to "countries". So this version of the sentence implies that China, The Netherlands, and Hungary possess countries.
In other words this version of the sentence is essentially saying
"the natural resource base of countries as varied as the countries of (i.e. possessed by) China, The Netherlands, and Hungary".
