here's a valid way to think about it: you can substitute "including" for "as varied as"; the sentence should still work.
these two don't have exactly the same meaning - i.e., "including" isn't the SAME as "as varied as" - but, if one of them is grammatically ok, then so is the other.
you cannot ignore intervening words. so if you have "as varied as those of...", then you must regard "those of..." as the object under comparison.
you'll find this rule pleasant, because it replaces difficult thinking with completely mechanical processes.

(1) I get mail from cities as far away as Providence.
(2) I get mail from cities that are as far away as Providence.
If I'm in San Francisco, then sentence #2 means, strangely enough, that I get mail from cities that are all exactly 3,082 miles away (the distance from SF to Providence). Sentence #1 implies no such thing.
Similarly, the wrong answer (D) seems to imply that EACH country is somehow as 'varied' as EACH other country. That's not the intended meaning, which is that the SET of countries is varied.

So: "countries" on one side and "China, the Netherlands, and Hungary" on the other. Proper, parallel comparison.
