Can you rule any out?

A and B are not acceptalbe. But it's hard to distinguish between C and D?

Yes, it is, but the answer is C.
When it's difficult to choose, try to make the sentence shorter:

"Probably no men had more effects than Henry Ford did"; "... no more than ..."
You'll agree that "no more as ..." is wrong.​

I think the answer is C
Because more-than, no "more-as"

"No man had more effect" seems better to me.

"No man had more effect" seems better to me.

Well, yes, but we don't get to re-write the question - unfortunately.

Thank you very much Raymott. I sincerely appreciate your help!
If I arrange the order of the sentence 'As Henry Ford did,probably no men had more effects on the daily lives of people in the United States." Is this arrangement right?
Thanks a lot!

No, it doesn't work like that.
