the structure of the sentence is an independent clause with an appositive thrown in the middle.

a) which discusses life among early human tribes, suggests that hunting and foraging groups be viewed as distinct from agricultural communities, rather than as part of a continuum
which must be preceded by a preposition when it is not used to start a nonessential clause on the GMAT

b) discussing life in early human tribes, suggests hunting and foraging groups should be viewed distinctly from agricultural communities, rather than continuously
suggest is a "thinking" verb. it requires THAT

c) that discusses life in early human tribes, suggest that hunting and foraging groups are distinct from agricultural communities, rather than as part of a continuum
not parallel

d) discussing life in early human tribes, suggests that early hunting and foraging groups and agricultural communities be viewed as distinct, rather than as parts of a continuum
Subjunctive mood
