Discussion of greenhouse effects has usually focused on whether the Earth would warm and by how much, but climatologists have indicated all along that the most obvious effects, and those that would have the largest impact on people, would be extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess.
(A) the most obvious effects, and those that would have the largest impact on people, would be extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess
(B) the effects that are the most obvious ones, extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, would be those impacting the most on people
(C) those effects to have the largest impact on people, extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, are what are the most obvious effects
(D) extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, the most obvious effects, that they would have the largest impact on people
(E) extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, which are the most obvious effects, are those to impact the most on people
Q1. Have confusion between option A and option B.
Q2. Please explain the use of 'would' in option A.
Q3. How to approach such questions where you have a trouble understanding the meaning and rheotorical construction?

Hi Gargi, This question is discussed here :- https://gmatclub.com/forum/discussion-o ... ml#p613979
You can take a look at the experts comments who might already have addressed your doubts.
Just to answer :-
a) Option B - "those" is a pronoun for "effects" so the sentence will read as "the effects XX would be the effects impacting the most" - We don't usually use this type of construction right. We don't repeat the words unnecessary.
b) "would" is used to present future tense hypothetical situation
c) Process of Elimination would work best in these types of questions. If you would go through the comments in the link, you will see each of the options has an issue that you can use to eliminate and finally would see only option A standing.

Choice A: CORRECT ANSWER. the most obvious effects, and those that would have the largest impact on people, would be extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess: Correct for the reasons stated above.
Choice B: the effects that are the most obvious ones, extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, would be those impacting the most on people: Incorrect.
1. “the effects that are the most obvious ones” is way too wordy when we can say “the most obvious effects”.
2. The parallel list has been violated. The entities in the list are now “effects”, “extreme of temperature”, “precipitation”, and “storminess”.
3. Reference of “those” is ambiguous.
4. “impacting the most on people” is absolutely ungrammatical. The correct expression is either “have impact on people” or “impacting people”.
Choice C: those effects to have the largest impact on people, extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, are what are the most obvious effects: Incorrect.
1. Repeats the same parallelism error as in Choice B.
2. “what are “ is not needed.
3. This choice distorts the intended meaning. It says that the effects that would have the largest impact are the most obvious ones.
Choice D: extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, the most obvious effects, that they would have the largest impact on people: Incorrect. There is no verb for “extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess”. This leads to a fragment.
Choice E: extremes of temperature, precipitation, and storminess, which are the most obvious effects, are those to impact the most on people: Incorrect.
1. Use of “which” is incorrect.
2. “to impact the most on people” is ungrammatical.
