With brains shaped by evolution to respond primarily to immediate physical peril, individual human beings often ignore or underestimate the gravity of more nebulous threats, such as climate change, yet are no less menacing.

A. individual human beings often ignore or underestimate the gravity of more nebulous threats, such as climate change, yet are no less menacing --- yet are no less menacing refers to individual human beings; not to the gravity of the nebulous threats; also it may be noted that if gravity was underestimated, the verb for the same should be in singular ‘is’ and not in plural ‘are’
B. individual human beings are prone to ignore, or else to underestimate, the gravity of more nebulous yet no less menacing threats, such as climate change -- seems to be the correct choice, except for the inclusion of the word 'else'. But that is not an unacceptable
C. individual human beings, often ignoring or underestimating the gravity of more nebulous threats, such as climate change, are no less menacing -- change in meaning; it is the threats that are no less menacing and not individuals
D. the gravity of threats, such as climate change, that are more nebulous yet no less menacing are often ignored, or else underestimated, by individual human beings --- The gravity of threats has no brains; misplaced modification
E. the gravity of more nebulous threats, such as climate change, are no less menacing, yet are often ignored or underestimated by individual human beings ---same as in D.
